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 charming photograph from the 1960s, a railway enthusiast couple from Essex are seen working diligently in their model railway workshop. The man, dressed in a crisp shirt and trousers, focuses intently on a small model train, while his wife, wearing an apron and a warm smile, assists him with tools and parts. The atmosphere in the room is filled with the comforting hum of machinery and the faint scent of glue and paint. Model railways had become a popular hobby for many during the 1960s, and this couple's passion for trains was evident in their meticulously crafted set. The intricate details of the model trains and tracks, as well as the carefully constructed scenery, speak to the dedication and skill of the couple. Despite the serious nature of their work, the couple's faces betray a sense of joy and satisfaction. The man's furrowed brow and intense gaze suggest a deep engagement with the project at hand, while his wife's smile and welcoming posture convey a sense of support and partnership. The image captures a moment of middle-aged happiness and the simple pleasure of tinkering with toys that transported them back to a simpler time. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of model railways as a hobby, and the joy that can be found in the smallest of pursuits. It also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world moved a little slower, and the simple pleasures of life were cherished.
