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 vintage poster, produced by British Railways (BR) between 1948 and 1965, transports us back to a bygone era of leisurely rail excursions. The artwork, created by an unknown artist, beautifully captures the essence of these delightful journeys to Withernsea in the East Riding. The poster's vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail immediately draw our eyes towards the Grand Pavilion - the ultimate destination for those seeking a night of dancing and merriment. Its elegant architecture stands proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and picturesque countryside, enticing travelers with promises of unforgettable evenings filled with music and joy. As we gaze at this evocative image, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of steam engines as they traverse their routes through scenic landscapes. The poster subtly hints at adventure and discovery; it invites us to embark on a nostalgic journey where time slows down and memories are made. Withernsea beckons us with its charm – a coastal town known for its sandy beaches, bracing sea air, and warm hospitality. This BR poster serves as an invitation to experience all that Withernsea has to offer: from idyllic strolls along the promenade to lively dances under glittering chandeliers. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only showcases British Railways' commitment to promoting travel but also acts as a window into an enchanting period in history when rail excursions were cherished experiences worth celebrating.
