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.

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, created in 1960 by British Railways (BR) Eastern Region (ER), takes us back in time to Norfolk, the birthplace of one of Britain's greatest naval heroes - Lord Nelson. The captivating image showcases a dramatic scene from a sea battle, with Nelson standing on board his ship, exuding strength and determination. Born in 1758 at Burnham Rectory in Norfolk, Nelson's legacy as a fearless commander is well-known. This poster aims to promote rail travel to Norfolk, inviting viewers to explore the roots of this legendary figure. It serves as a reminder of the rich history that lies within the picturesque landscapes and charming towns of this region. The artwork by Lance Cattermole beautifully captures the essence of Lord Nelson's heroic persona. Printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd. , London & Dunstable, every detail comes alive through their craftsmanship. Nelson's pivotal role during the Napoleonic wars is highlighted here; he became commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean fleet aboard HMS Victory. Tragically, it was during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 that he sustained mortal wounds while leading his men into victory against formidable foes. This historic print not only celebrates Norfolk's connection with Lord Nelson but also pays homage to an era when rail travel was promoted as an exciting means to discover new destinations. As part of NRM/Pictorial Collection from National Railway Museum, this piece holds both artistic and historical significance for admirers of British heritage and
