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
In this photo, the majestic Tornado Steam Locomotive gracefully traverses the iconic Ribblehead viaduct in northern England. The image captures a moment of historical significance as it showcases the last remaining Peppercorn class A1 steam locomotive, which was thought to be lost forever after being scrapped in 1966. However, thanks to the remarkable craftsmanship of the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust in Darlington, this new locomotive emerged from its ashes. The Tornado's powerful presence is beautifully juxtaposed against the backdrop of rugged landscapes and towering stone arches that make up Ribblehead viaduct. As it glides effortlessly across this engineering marvel, one can almost hear echoes from a bygone era when steam engines ruled the railways. This photograph not only celebrates the restoration and resurrection of an important piece of British railway history but also highlights how heritage and innovation can coexist harmoniously. The Settle-Carlisle line becomes a living testament to our enduring fascination with steam locomotives and their ability to transport us back in time. Nigel Roddis skillfully captures both the grandeur of nature and man-made ingenuity through his lens. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst modern advancements, there will always be room for nostalgia and appreciation for our rich cultural heritage.
