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 summer of 1933 at The Oaks station in Bolton, United Kingdom. Formerly known as the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, this bustling hub was now under the management of London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS). The image captures a picturesque view near a proposed site for a pump, showcasing the intricate details of railway infrastructure. On the right side stands the Birkenshaw signal box, which had been serving passengers since its opening in 1902. Its presence adds an element of nostalgia to this snapshot from yesteryear. Transport enthusiasts will appreciate how this photograph allows them to immerse themselves in rail history. The tracks stretch into the distance, symbolizing endless possibilities for travel and adventure during that era. It's fascinating to imagine steam-powered locomotives chugging along these very rails. Preserved by Imagination Works and displayed at National Railway Museum (NRM), this print is a testament to our rich rail heritage. It serves as a reminder of how crucial railways were for connecting communities across Lancashire and Yorkshire. As we gaze upon this piece of history, it's important not to overlook its significance beyond commercial use. This photograph represents more than just trains; it encapsulates human ingenuity, progress in transportation technology, and our collective fascination with railways throughout time.
