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
Stepping back in time, this print captures the essence of Truro railway station in Cornwall during the early 1900s. The exterior view showcases a bustling scene with horse-drawn carriages lined up outside, eagerly awaiting passengers and their luggage. Amongst them, two carriages from the renowned Red Lion Hotel stand proudly, ready to transport guests to their desired destinations. The station itself exudes an air of grandeur, its architecture reflecting the importance of rail travel during that era. Posters adorning the walls catch our attention; one particularly intriguing advertisement promotes the Royal Mail Steam Packet company, hinting at exciting voyages across vast oceans. This snapshot was taken before Coronation Terrace came into existence, allowing us a glimpse into Truro's history before urban development transformed its landscape. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when trains were not just modes of transportation but also symbols of progress and connectivity. Through this image, we are transported back to an era where locomotives chugged along tracks and carts clattered on cobblestones. It encapsulates a moment frozen in time—a testament to Truro's rich heritage and its role as a vital hub for both locals and visitors alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from the Royal Cornwall Museum collection, we can't help but imagine ourselves immersed in that bygone era—witnessing firsthand how life unfolded at Truro railway station over a century ago.
