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 showcases a remarkable piece of British Railways history, specifically the York BR poster from 1956. The poster, created by the talented artist E H Spencer, was commissioned by the North Eastern Region of British Railways and beautifully captures the essence of this enchanting city. In this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a scene that perfectly encapsulates York's rich heritage and architectural grandeur. The focal point is undoubtedly the magnificent York Minster, standing tall as an iconic symbol of this historic city. Its awe-inspiring presence is complemented by the intricate details of the surrounding city gateway heraldry rose. The railway poster itself serves as more than just a promotional tool; it embodies artistry at its finest. With vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, it entices viewers to explore all that York has to offer – from its medieval streets to its charming shops and bustling markets. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance behind such posters but also their historical significance in promoting travel during an era when rail transport was at its peak. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but be transported back in time ourselves – imagining what it would have been like for travelers in 1956 who were captivated by this very same poster while waiting on platforms or passing through stations across Britain.
