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 titled "Stay at Dartmouth" takes us back to the 1930s, when Great Western Railway (GWR) used stunning posters like this one to entice travelers to visit the charming Devon resort. The artwork, created by Frieda Lingstrom, showcases a breathtaking view of the Dart Estuary. In the background stands the majestic Dartmouth Castle, adding an air of history and grandeur to this picturesque scene. In the foreground, two small children stand on rocks, seemingly captivated by their surroundings. Their presence adds a touch of innocence and wonderment to an already enchanting landscape. It's as if they are beckoning us to come and explore all that Dartmouth has to offer. Frieda Lingstrom's talent shines through in her ability to capture not only natural beauty but also evoke emotions through her artistry. Her studies at prestigious institutions such as Central School of Arts and Crafts and Heatherleys undoubtedly contributed to her exceptional skills. Beyond travel propaganda for English tourists, Lingstrom was commissioned by both Norwegian and Swedish governments for Scandinavian drawings. She also designed posters for LNER (London & North Eastern Railway) and gained recognition for her remarkable landscape paintings. Measuring 1016mm x 635mm, this print is a true testament to Lingstrom's artistic prowess. Displaying it proudly would transport any viewer into a world where castles overlook serene estuaries while promising unforgettable holidays in delightful resorts like Dartmouth.
