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 enchanting year of 1960, when British Railways (BR) unveiled a remarkable poster showcasing the breathtaking beauty of Aberystwyth through the Rheidol Valley. Crafted by talented artist Johns Smith, this artwork effortlessly captures the essence of this picturesque region in Wales. The poster features three scenic views that transport us into a world where nature's splendor meets the marvels of rail travel. The first image reveals an awe-inspiring vista, with rolling hills and lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. A meandering river gracefully winds its way through this idyllic landscape, adding a touch of tranquility to the scene. In another view, we are treated to a glimpse of Aberystwyth itself—a charming town nestled amidst verdant hills and embraced by crystal-clear waters. Its quaint houses and historic buildings stand proudly against a backdrop dominated by majestic mountains. Lastly, our eyes are drawn towards a meticulously designed rail timetable that seamlessly blends into these natural wonders. It serves as a reminder that amidst all this beauty lies an efficient railway system connecting travelers to these hidden gems. As we admire this timeless piece from the National Railway Museum collection, we cannot help but be transported back in time—to an era when art merged with practicality and encouraged exploration. This poster is not just about trains; it is an invitation to embark on an unforgettable journey through one of Britain's most captivating landscapes: Aberystwyth through the Rheid
