17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 1946, when Southern Railway (SR) sought to entice travelers with their sea services to the Continent on the Golden Arrow short sea route. The poster, skillfully crafted by renowned marine painter Norman Wilkinson, showcases a breathtaking view of TS Invicta departing from the bustling port of Dover in Kent. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn towards the majestic white cliffs of Dover that stand proudly in the background. Wilkinson's artistic prowess shines through as he masterfully captures every detail of this picturesque moment. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes bring life to the steamship as it embarks on its journey across the English Channel.

The TS Invicta leaving Dover serves as a symbol of adventure and exploration, beckoning travelers to embark on an unforgettable voyage. This evocative image not only promotes SR's sea services but also encapsulates a sense of wonder and wanderlust that transcends time.
