31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
Step back in time with this late Victorian image of Victoria Railway Station in London, circa 1890s. The photograph, taken from a lantern slide, showcases the grandeur and bustle of this historic transport hub. The station's imposing red-brick facade, adorned with intricate stonework and ornate ironwork, stands proudly in the background. At the heart of the scene, a steam locomotive, its smoky engine belching out plumes of black smoke, is preparing to depart from the platform. The locomotive, with its large driving wheels and intricate details, epitomizes the industrial might of the era. The platform is filled with passengers, their Victorian attire adding a sense of period charm to the scene. The air is thick with the acrid smell of coal and oil, a stark reminder of the pollution that came with the era's rapid industrialization. Yet, despite the smoky conditions, the station's platform is well-lit, with hanging lanterns and lamps providing a sense of safety and security. The railway tracks stretch out into the distance, leading to unknown destinations, symbolizing the freedom and adventure that came with late Victorian-era travel. The image captures the spirit of a bygone era, a time of innovation, progress, and the thrill of exploration. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of transportation in London and the role that Victoria Railway Station played in shaping the city's urban landscape. It is a must-have for any collection of Victorian-era images or for those with an interest in the history of transportation and travel.
