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 vibrant and captivating print takes us back to the summer of 1977, when British Rail's London Midland Region introduced an enticing holiday package to the enchanting Isle of Man. The poster, skillfully produced by Lonsdale & Bartholomew Limited in Nottingham, beautifully captures the essence of this idyllic destination known as the "land of smiles". The image transports us to a world where time seems to stand still. On one side, we see a charming steam locomotive from the Isle of Man Railway gracefully chugging along its scenic tracks. Its billowing smoke adds an air of nostalgia and adventure to this picturesque journey. On the other side, we are treated to a glimpse of another mode of transportation that defines this island paradise - the Manx Electric Railway. This iconic tramway system offers passengers a unique way to explore their surroundings while enjoying breathtaking coastal views. But it's not just about transportation; it's about experiencing all that this magical place has to offer. In true holiday spirit, we witness happy travelers donning their bathing costumes as they prepare for some seaside fun. The promise of sun-soaked beaches and refreshing dips in crystal-clear waters beckons visitors from far and wide. As we admire this vintage masterpiece proudly displayed at the National Railway Museum, let it serve as a reminder that travel is not merely about reaching our destination but immersing ourselves in new experiences and creating lasting memories along the way.
