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 captures the majestic presence of steam locomotive Neil Gow as it gracefully traverses the iconic Ais Gill Viaduct on the historic Settle and Carlisle line. The year is 1960, a time when British Railways service was at its peak, and this powerful A3 class 4-6-2 steam locomotive, numbered 60082, proudly pulls a passenger train across the viaduct. Photographer Eric Treacy skillfully frames this moment in history, showcasing both the grandeur of the locomotive and the architectural marvel that is Ais Gill Viaduct. The intricate details of Neil Gow's design are highlighted by wisps of steam billowing from its chimney, evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. The photograph transports us to a time when rail travel reigned supreme - an age where passengers embarked on exhilarating journeys through picturesque landscapes. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Treacy's lens, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging sound echoing through valleys while feeling a gentle breeze caress our faces. Preserved within National Railway Museum's vast collection, this print serves as a reminder of Britain's rich railway heritage. It encapsulates not only technical prowess but also human ingenuity that brought together engineering marvels like Neil Gow with awe-inspiring structures such as Ais Gill Viaduct.
