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 winter of 1925, when the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) sought to entice travelers to Southport, Merseyside for a delightful holiday. The poster, skillfully illustrated by Fortunino Matania, showcases a bustling scene outside the Garrick Theatre on Lord Street. The artwork transports us into an era of elegance and sophistication. Fashionably dressed women and men can be seen strolling along the streets in their finest attire. Their coats and hats protect them from the crisp winter air as they eagerly make their way towards the theater. The vibrant colors used in this painting bring life to every detail - from the intricate designs on their dresses to the shine of polished motorcars parked nearby. Matania's talent shines through in his ability to capture not only fashion but also movement and atmosphere. It is no wonder that King George V himself was impressed with Matania's work and invited him to document his tour of India. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded of a time when travel posters were not just advertisements but works of art themselves. They transported viewers into dreamlike destinations where holidays promised excitement and joy. This print serves as a window into both Southport's past allure as a winter getaway destination and Matania's incredible artistic prowess.
