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 takes us back to the summer of 1962, when British Railways (BR) commissioned an unknown artist to create a stunning poster promoting train services to Paignton, Devon. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of this charming seaside town, nestled along the picturesque coast. Paignton's golden beaches stretch out before us, inviting us to bask in the warm sun and feel the sand between our toes. The vibrant blue waters glisten under a clear sky, promising refreshing dips and endless hours of seaside fun. Families frolic on the shore while children build sandcastles with boundless imagination. The poster exudes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era - one where train travel was not only practical but also imbued with an air of adventure and romance. It transports us back to a time when British society embraced these coastal getaways as cherished moments away from bustling city life. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece. It reminds us of simpler times when railway journeys were eagerly anticipated and destinations like Paignton held promises of idyllic summers spent by the sea. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported into that era - feeling the warmth on our skin, hearing laughter carried by gentle sea breezes, and experiencing firsthand why Paignton became such an iconic holiday destination during those halcyon days of British Railways in the 1960
