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
The Day Begins, LMS poster, 1946 captures the essence of a bustling morning at the Willesden depot in London. This stunning print showcases the meticulous maintenance of the locomotive City of Hereford on a turntable, surrounded by an array of impressive LMS engines. Created by Terence Cuneo, a renowned artist and son of Cyrus and Nell Cuneo, this artwork reflects his exceptional talent and attention to detail. Cuneo's artistic journey began at Chelsea and Slade Art Schools where he honed his skills before embarking on a prolific career designing railway posters. However, his talents extended far beyond that realm as he also painted remarkable portraits including those of royalty and explored ceremonial and military subjects. In this image, we are transported back in time to witness the industrious atmosphere within the depot. The soft hues evoke the early morning light while highlighting every intricate aspect of these magnificent machines. From steam billowing from their chimneys to workers diligently tending to their maintenance needs, every element is meticulously portrayed. This print not only pays homage to the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) but also serves as a testament to Cuneo's ability to capture both technical precision and artistic beauty in one frame. It is truly a masterpiece that transports us into an era when railways were at their peak.
