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 print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1950s, capturing a poignant moment in British railway history. As British Railways introduces their new diesel and electric locomotives, it's important to spare a thought for the old workhorses of the network - the steam engines. In this image, we find ourselves at an auction held in Kent specifically for these aging steam engines. Like a dogs home, these majestic machines are desperately seeking new owners before they face an unfortunate fate: being scrapped. The price tags attached to each engine tell tales of their past glory and now uncertain future. The atmosphere is tinged with sadness as railway workers and enthusiasts gather around, contemplating whether they can save one of these nostalgic relics. The sign nearby reminds us that time is running out for these once-mighty locomotives unless someone steps forward to give them a second chance. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of transport history and serves as a reminder of how quickly progress can render even the most beloved icons obsolete. It prompts reflection on our ever-changing world while evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when steam-powered trains ruled the tracks. Thanks to Daily Mirror's dedication to preserving such moments through photography, we are transported back in time and encouraged to appreciate both technological advancements and cherish what has been left behind by progress.
