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 golden era of travel, showcasing a stunning GWR poster from 1923-1947. The image transports us to Torquay, known as the crown jewel of the English Riviera. With its picturesque promenade and pristine beach, this coastal paradise truly lives up to its reputation. The foreground is adorned with vibrant gardens, adding a touch of natural beauty to an already idyllic scene. Towering palm trees sway gently in the breeze, providing shade for those seeking respite from the sun's warm embrace. The azure sea stretches out before us, inviting visitors to take a refreshing dip or simply bask in its tranquil presence. Torquay was rightfully hailed as the capital of the English Riviera during this time period, and it's easy to see why. This poster captures all that made this resort town so desirable - luxurious resorts dotting the coastline, promising unforgettable holidays filled with relaxation and indulgence. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved by NRM/Pictorial Collection at National Railway Museum, we can't help but be transported back in time. It serves as a reminder of an era when travel was not just about reaching your destination but also about immersing yourself in breathtaking landscapes and creating lasting memories along the way.
