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 takes us back to the golden era of British Railways, specifically to the year 1951. Here we witness a magnificent Hall Class 4-6-0 steam locomotive in all its glory as it traverses a picturesque viaduct near Liskeard. This particular locomotive is hauling the prestigious Cornish Riviera Express from Penzance, making its way towards London's Paddington station. The Hall Class locomotives were originally designed and built for the Great Western Railway during the 1930s, known for their exceptional power and reliability. As this photograph beautifully captures, these majestic machines commanded attention wherever they went. The scene depicted here is reminiscent of an enchanting moment captured in a British Transport Films production called "Train Time". The film aimed to showcase not only the efficiency and grandeur of Britain's railway system but also highlight the seamless connection between different regions across the country. This stunning image serves as a testament to both engineering prowess and natural beauty. It transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at an iconic piece of transportation history while appreciating the breathtaking landscapes that served as a backdrop for these remarkable feats of engineering.
