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
Crossing the Forth Bridge: A Spectacular Feat of Engineering in Scotland's Past This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases a London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) train gracefully crossing the iconic Forth Bridge near Edinburgh, Scotland. The bridge, completed in 1901, is an engineering marvel that spans the Firth of Forth estuary, connecting the cities of Edinburgh and Fife. The Forth Bridge, an essential part of Scotland's rich railway history, was the longest steel bridge in the world when it was built. Designed by Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker, it took over seven years to construct and cost the equivalent of £3 million in today's currency. The bridge's distinctive red color, derived from the oxide of the iron used in its construction, has become an iconic symbol of Scotland. The train in this photograph, with its elegant steam engine and carriages, adds to the historical significance of the image. The LNER was a major British railway company that operated from 1923 until 1947. The company played a crucial role in connecting Scotland's major cities and towns, making it easier for people to travel and facilitating economic growth. The photograph not only captures the engineering prowess of the Forth Bridge but also the romance of train travel in the early 20th century. The steam engine, with its billowing smoke, and the train's steady progression across the bridge, create a sense of motion and adventure. This photograph is a testament to Scotland's rich railway history and the engineering feats that shaped the country's transportation landscape. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when train travel was an essential mode of transportation and a source of wonder and excitement.
