17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 captures the historic moment as The Flying Scotsman, the iconic steam locomotive, begins its non-stop journey from Kings Cross station in London towards Edinburgh on September 30, 1933. With a powerful roar and a plume of smoke billowing from its stack, the locomotive pulls out of the station, marking the start of an epic 392-mile journey that would take just under eight hours to complete. The Flying Scotsman, a testament to the engineering prowess of its time, was the pride of the British railways. Its record-breaking run in 1934 established it as the first steam locomotive to reach an average speed of 100 miles per hour, making it a symbol of speed and innovation. This photograph, taken in the early days of railway travel, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the thrill of travel lay in the journey itself. The station, bustling with activity, serves as a stark contrast to the serene and empty landscape that would unfold before the locomotive as it sped northwards. As we admire this historical image, we are reminded of the rich railway heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us. The Flying Scotsman's legendary journey from Kings Cross to Edinburgh remains a significant chapter in the annals of railway history, a testament to the enduring allure of the steam age."
