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 year 1954, when British Railways (London Midlands Region) commissioned a stunning poster showcasing the picturesque beauty of Portstewart in Northern Ireland. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Kenneth Steel, transports us to this charming coastal town with its serene harbor and bustling boats gently swaying on the calm sea waters. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent hills that serve as a majestic backdrop to this idyllic scene. Their towering presence adds an air of grandeur and tranquility, perfectly complementing the peaceful atmosphere of Portstewart. As our eyes wander across the frame, we are drawn towards every minute detail captured by Steel's artistic vision - from the quaint harborside buildings to each meticulously depicted boat. Transport enthusiasts and art lovers alike will appreciate how this poster encapsulates both natural beauty and industrial marvels. It serves as a testament to British Railways' commitment to promoting regional tourism through their visually striking posters. This particular piece has found its way into National Railway Museum's collection due to its historical significance and exceptional craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can almost feel ourselves being transported back in time - breathing in fresh sea air while admiring nature's wonders alongside man-made marvels. It truly is a timeless snapshot that continues to captivate viewers with its charm and elegance even after all these years.
