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
Step aboard the luxurious world of Victorian rail travel, as depicted in this front cover illustration from The Graphic magazine, dated 1874. The image showcases the opulence of a Pullman Palace car on the Midland Railway, offering a glimpse into the world of comfort and elegance that once defined long-distance train travel. The interior of the Pullman car is beautifully rendered, with sleeping arrangements that include individual compartments, each equipped with a bunk bed and a private entrance. The top bunk is shown occupied by a passenger, who appears to be enjoying the view from the window, while the unfortunate soul below is shown suffering from his traveling companion's loud snoring. The scene also reveals a washing facility, where a passenger can be seen filling a basin with water, and a smoking room, where a gentleman relaxes with a pipe in hand. In another compartment, a couple enjoys a quiet luncheon, savoring the delicious meal served by the attentive Pullman steward. This illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, highlighting the luxurious amenities that made Pullman cars a preferred mode of transportation during the 19th century. The attention to detail in the illustration, from the intricate woodwork to the elegant table settings, transports us back in time and invites us to imagine the excitement and adventure of traveling by train during this era.
