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
Captured in this stunning print from 1960, we witness the majestic Evening Star 2-10-0 Class 9F steam locomotive No. 92220 in all its glory. This iconic locomotive holds a significant place in British Railways history as it was the last of its kind to be built. Designed by the brilliant R A Riddles and constructed at Swindon, this powerful machine symbolizes the end of an era. In this particular image, we see Evening Star proudly leading a special train along the picturesque York-Scarborough line. The locomotive's impressive size and intricate details are beautifully highlighted against the backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills. With its billowing smoke and rhythmic chugging sound, Evening Star evokes a sense of nostalgia for those who remember witnessing these magnificent machines dominate railway tracks across Britain. It serves as a reminder of an era when steam power ruled transportation. Sadly, like many other steam locomotives, Evening Star's time on active duty came to an end in 1965 when it was withdrawn from service. However, through photographs such as this one preserved by the National Railway Museum, we can still appreciate its grandeur and pay homage to its contribution to British rail history.
