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 1959, when British Railways (BR) sought to entice holidaymakers to the picturesque coastal town of Bridlington in East Riding. The poster, skillfully designed by artist Tatt, showcases the idyllic charm and vibrant social scene that awaited visitors on their train journey. As we gaze at this vintage masterpiece, we are transported to a time when society was emerging from the shadows of war and embracing a newfound sense of leisure and recreation. Bridlington's sandy beaches stretch out before us, inviting families and friends to bask in the warm sun or frolic in the refreshing waves. The bustling seaside resorts come alive with laughter and excitement as people indulge in ice creams, donkey rides, and traditional beachside amusements. The poster captures not only the natural beauty of Bridlington's coast but also its role as a hub for social gatherings. It reflects an era where holidays were treasured moments for hardworking individuals seeking respite from their daily routines. In this snapshot of history, we witness how BR played a pivotal role in connecting people with these cherished destinations. Preserved by National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a window into our past – reminding us of simpler times filled with joyous memories made along Britain's coastline.
