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 vignette illustration, titled "Railway Ribaldry" by the renowned British humourist and illustrator W. Heath Robinson, dates back to 1935. The image offers a delightful glimpse into the early days of rail transport, showcasing an intriguing and early type of signal system. Heath Robinson's illustration is rich in detail and brimming with comic charm. In the foreground, we see a group of men in top hats, gathered around a peculiar signal system. The mechanism consists of a pulley, a rope, a weight, and a long stick, which seems to be the signal arm. The men appear to be in high spirits, likely amused by the quirks of their job as railway signal operators. The background of the illustration is filled with the hustle and bustle of a bustling railway scene. Steam locomotives, complete with their distinctive funnels, puff and hiss, while people scurry about, carrying luggage and going about their business. The Great Western Railway (GWR) logo can be seen on the side of one of the trains, adding a touch of historical authenticity to the scene. This charming vignette illustration, with its comic take on the railway signal system, transports us back to the 1930s, a time when steam trains ruled the rails and railway ribaldry was a part of everyday life. The intricate details and human touch in Heath Robinson's work make this a truly fascinating and intriguing piece of transport history.
