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 captures a momentous occasion in the history of The Flying Scotsman engine. In 1963, Mr Alan Pegler became the proud owner of this iconic locomotive, and on its 40th anniversary run, he leaned out of the cabin window to warmly greet Lord Provost Sir Herbert Brechin at Waverley Station in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Flying Scotsman is renowned as an express passenger train service that has connected the capitals of Scotland and England since 1862. Designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley, it holds a special place in railway history. On May 1st, 1928, this very locomotive made headlines by completing a non-stop journey from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh covering an impressive distance of 392 miles (631 km). In this blackened and soot-covered image taken on May 1st, 1968, we witness a significant moment as two influential figures come together to celebrate the legacy of The Flying Scotsman. With coal-stained hands extended for a handshake and steam billowing around them, they embody the spirit of this magnificent machine. This print serves as both a nostalgic reminder and an homage to the golden age of railways. It transports us back to an era when steam trains ruled supreme and evokes feelings of admiration for those who preserved these marvels for future generations to appreciate.
