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
This photograph showcases the Fowler Traction Engine FX717C Princess (msn 12255), a historic beauty built in 1910 by John Fowler & Co Engineers of Leathley Road, Hunslet, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The FX717C Princess was one of the many traction engines produced by the esteemed engineering firm, which also manufactured ploughing implements and equipment, as well as railway vehicles. The engine's regal name, "Princess," adds an air of elegance and grandeur to this mechanical marvel. The FX717C Princess was in its prime at the 1959 Andover Steam Rally, where it proudly displayed its intricate design and powerful presence. John Fowler & Co. had a rich history in the production of traction engines, with their engines being renowned for their robustness and reliability. The FX717C Princess, with its distinctive red and gold livery, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the engineers who built it over a century ago. The intricate details of the engine, from its ornate boiler to its polished metal components, are a sight to behold. The steam rally provided the perfect setting for the engine to showcase its capabilities, as it gracefully moved about the grounds, belching plumes of steam into the air. The Fowler Traction Engine FX717C Princess remains an iconic piece of engineering history, a reminder of a bygone era when steam power ruled the transportation landscape. This photograph captures a moment in time, preserving the legacy of John Fowler & Co Engineers and the magnificent machines they created.
