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 era of rail travel in the 1960s. Created by renowned artist Frank Wootton, this vintage poster was produced for British Railways (BR) Western Region to entice travelers to explore the breathtaking beauty of Wales. The image transports us into a scene straight out of a fairytale. A majestic steam locomotive gracefully chugs through the picturesque Welsh countryside, surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery as far as the eye can see. The landscape is dotted with charming little villages and quaint cottages, adding an idyllic touch to this timeless picture. But what truly captures our imagination is the magnificent castle that looms in the background, proudly standing atop a hill. Its ancient stone walls tell tales of centuries gone by, whispering secrets only history knows. This juxtaposition between man-made marvels and nature's wonders creates an atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and serene. Frank Wootton's artistic prowess shines through every brushstroke, effortlessly capturing not just a moment frozen in time but also evoking emotions within us - a longing for adventure and exploration. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from National Railway Museum's collection, we are reminded of how railways have always been more than just modes of transportation; they are gateways to discovery and experiences that stay etched in our memories forever.
