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.

The Coronation Scot - A Timeless Tribute to Speed and Elegance
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an oil painting by the talented Norman Wilkinson, created as artwork for a London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) poster. The masterpiece captures the iconic LMS Coronation Scot streamlined steam locomotive and train gracefully ascending Shap Fell in Cumbria. The year was 1937, a time when railway travel epitomized luxury and efficiency. The Coronation Scot connected London's bustling Euston Station with Glasgow Central Station in Scotland, completing the journey in just 6 1/2 hours. This remarkable feat of engineering revolutionized long-distance travel. During its test runs that same year, the Coronation Scot shattered British railway records by reaching an astonishing maximum speed of 114 mph. It became synonymous with speed, power, and elegance - a true symbol of progress during an era defined by innovation. Measuring at an impressive size of 1150mm x 785mm, this print transports us back to a golden age of rail travel. It serves as a reminder of the incredible achievements made possible through human ingenuity and determination. As we gaze upon this magnificent artwork from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we are reminded not only of the beauty captured within its frame but also of our shared history - one where dreams were realized on steel tracks that stretched across nations.
