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 print captures the essence of a perfect summer day in the 1950s. Titled "Day Trips by Train from Victoria to Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate" it was created by British Railways (Southern Region) to entice travelers to explore the beautiful coastal resorts along the southern coast of England. The focal point of this image is a woman sunbathing under a colorful parasol, epitomizing relaxation and leisure. Her vibrant swimwear adds a touch of nostalgia, reminding us of simpler times when beach fashion was both stylish and modest. The poster's composition exudes tranquility and escapism, inviting viewers to imagine themselves embarking on an idyllic train journey through picturesque landscapes towards these charming seaside towns. The soft hues and gentle brushstrokes evoke a sense of calmness, perfectly capturing the allure of these coastal destinations. Printed by Hegerty & Merry with impeccable attention to detail, this print showcases Studio Seven's artistic prowess in bringing forth the beauty and appeal of these day trips. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst bustling city life, there are serene havens waiting just a train ride away. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this piece not only celebrates Britain's rich railway heritage but also immortalizes an era where escaping for sun-soaked adventures was eagerly anticipated.
