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 showcases a remarkable poster that once adorned the walls of train stations across England during the years 1923-1947. Created in collaboration between two iconic railway companies, the Great Western Railway and the London Midland & Scottish Railway, this joint effort aimed to promote travel to Hereford Cathedral. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Claude Buckle, transports viewers into a world where architectural marvels intertwine with medieval grandeur. The focal point is undoubtedly Hereford Cathedral's majestic arches, which dominate the composition with their intricate design and timeless beauty. As one gazes upon this stunning image, it becomes evident that Buckle masterfully captured not only the physicality of these ancient structures but also their spiritual essence. The play of light and shadow within the cathedral's interiors creates an ethereal atmosphere that evokes a sense of reverence and tranquility. It is fascinating to contemplate how this poster would have enticed travelers back in its heyday – promising them an unforgettable journey through time as they embarked on a pilgrimage to witness such awe-inspiring architecture firsthand. Preserved by the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as both a testament to Britain's rich railway history and an enduring tribute to Claude Buckle's artistic talent. It invites us all to appreciate not just trains' utilitarian purpose but also their ability to transport us into realms where artistry meets exploration.
