23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken around 1908, the railway station at Las Planas (Les Planes d'Hostoles), a quaint village nestled in the Girona province of Catalonia, Spain, comes alive with the arrival of a train. The station, a testament to the early days of transportation in Europe, is bustling with activity as passengers disembark from the carriages, their faces reflecting a mix of excitement and relief. The train, with its intricate design and smokestacks billowing out plumes of steam, dominates the scene. The tracks leading to the station are filled with the sounds of clanging metal and the hiss of escaping steam, adding to the sense of energy and movement. The platform, crowded with people, is a mosaic of color and texture, with passengers in their finery and travelers in work clothes, all jostling to make their way off the train. The village of Las Planas, located in the beautiful Catalan countryside, is a picturesque scene of rustic charm. The station, with its red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls, blends seamlessly into the landscape, surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery. The arrival of the train brings a sense of connection to the outside world, allowing the villagers to travel to nearby cities for work, education, or leisure. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a small Spanish village in the early 1900s. The railway station at Las Planas stands as a symbol of progress and connectivity, a reminder of the transformative power of transportation and its impact on communities.
