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
This print captures a significant moment in history as a specialist diligently removes blue asbestos from two vintage steam trains at the Midland Railway Trust in Butterley. The date, 15th September 1988, marks an era of restoration and preservation for these magnificent locomotives. In this snapshot from the 1980s, we witness the dedication and expertise required to maintain these iconic steam engines. Clad in protective clothing and wearing a face mask, the specialist works meticulously to ensure the safety of both themselves and future passengers. Their commitment to removing hazardous materials showcases their unwavering passion for preserving our rich railway heritage. The image features two notable steam train models: Fowler Class 4F and Princess Royal Class "Princess Margar". These powerful machines played vital roles in England's transport industry during the twentieth century. Now under the care of Midland Railway Trust, they are being lovingly restored to their former glory. Derbyshire's East Midlands region serves as a fitting backdrop for this scene, with its picturesque landscapes adding an extra layer of charm to this historical moment frozen in time. This photograph is not just about trains; it symbolizes human ingenuity and determination to protect our past while embracing progress towards a safer future. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Memory Lane Prints' staff photographer, we are reminded of how crucial it is to honor our industrial heritage while prioritizing worker safety – an essential aspect that has shaped transportation systems worldwide.
