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 vibrant coastal town of Redcar in the 1950s, as depicted in a promotional poster created by British Railways (BR). The artwork, skillfully crafted by Ellis Silas, beautifully captures the essence of this seaside gem. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the stunning sandy beaches that stretch out before us. The golden hues of the sand contrast perfectly with the deep blue tones of the sea, creating a visual feast for beach lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. The inviting waves gently lap against the shore, beckoning visitors to come and enjoy their refreshing embrace. The poster also highlights Redcar's charming promenades that line its picturesque coastline. Strolling along these well-maintained walkways would have offered locals and tourists an opportunity to soak up both fresh sea air and breathtaking views. Whether enjoying a leisurely stroll or engaging in lively conversations with loved ones, these promenades were undoubtedly a hub of activity during those halcyon days. Redcar's appeal as a holiday destination is further emphasized through this nostalgic snapshot from BR's archives. It serves as a reminder of how rail services played an integral role in connecting people with idyllic locations like Redcar during that era. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only encapsulates Redcar's allure but also showcases Britain’s rich railway heritage. It invites us to step back in time and imagine ourselves basking
