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 vintage print takes us back to the golden era of travel, capturing the essence of Whitley Bay in its heyday. The London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) commissioned this delightful poster to entice holidaymakers to the picturesque shores of Tyne and Wear. Created by talented artist Frank Newbould, known for his iconic railway posters, it beautifully showcases a couple enjoying a leisurely day at the beach. The scene is idyllic; with soft sand stretching as far as the eye can see and gentle waves lapping at their feet. The couple reclines on deck chairs, basking in the warm sun while casting admiring glances towards an adorable dog holding a spade playfully in its mouth. It's a charming touch that adds whimsy and character to this already enchanting image. Newbould's artistic prowess shines through in every detail - from the vibrant colors that bring life to each element, to his masterful composition that effortlessly draws our gaze from one point of interest to another. This poster not only promotes rail services but also captures an era when seaside holidays were eagerly anticipated events filled with relaxation and joy. As we admire this timeless piece, we are transported back in time - feeling the warmth of sun-kissed skin, hearing laughter carried on salty breezes, and experiencing a sense of tranquility that only comes from being immersed in nature's beauty.
