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 year 1959, when British Railways (BR) released a stunning poster promoting train services to the picturesque town of Dover in Kent. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Frederick Griffin, transports us to a world where adventure and relaxation await on the shores of this enchanting coastal destination. The poster captures the essence of Dover's natural beauty with its iconic white cliffs standing majestically against the backdrop of a serene sea. As our eyes wander across the image, we are drawn towards an array of boats gently bobbing in the crystal-clear waters below. The sight evokes feelings of tranquility and invites us to explore these inviting seaside beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see. Griffin's masterful graphic design effortlessly combines elements from both pastimes and sports popular during that era. It hints at endless possibilities for leisurely activities such as boating or simply basking under warm rays on sandy shores. This nostalgic snapshot reminds us of simpler times when railways were not just modes of transportation but also gateways to unforgettable experiences. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Britain's rich railway heritage and artistic prowess. Its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers today, transporting them back in time while igniting their imagination for future adventures along Britain's scenic coastlines.
