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.

Summer Comes Soonest In The South
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by Charles E. Brown at Waterloo Station in 1923, showcasing the magic of interwar train travel. The image portrays a young boy in a straw hat, standing next to a powerful locomotive, his small frame dwarfed by the towering engine. His eyes are fixed on the crew, who are engrossed in their tasks, oblivious to the curious onlooker. The steam billows out from the chimney, carrying with it the promise of adventure and new horizons. The scene is set against the backdrop of Waterloo Station, a bustling hub of activity, where the sounds of clanging metal, hissing steam, and the rhythmic chugging of the train blend together in perfect harmony. The station, adorned with banners and posters, is a testament to the excitement and anticipation that comes with the arrival of summer and the start of new journeys. The photograph captures the essence of a simpler time, where the wonders of technology and the beauty of nature converged to create memories that would last a lifetime. The little boy's fascination with the locomotive and the crew's dedication to their craft serve as a reminder of the human connection that exists even in the most mundane of daily tasks. Charles E. Brown, a photographer in the Royal Air Force, expertly captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to marvel at the allure of train travel during the interwar period. The photograph is a testament to the power of a single image to transport us to another place and time, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder that transcends the boundaries of language and culture.
