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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s, a time when elegance and sophistication were paramount in travel. Displayed is a GWR luggage trolley, an exquisite piece of furniture that once graced the platforms of Great Western Railway stations. This image has been carefully extracted from a page within a GWR furniture catalogue, showcasing their diverse range of handcrafted items. The attention to detail on this trolley is truly remarkable. Its sleek design features smooth curves and sturdy wheels, perfectly suited for transporting heavy suitcases with ease. The craftsmanship evident in every inch speaks volumes about the pride taken by GWR in producing their own furniture collection. Imagine bustling railway platforms filled with well-dressed passengers eagerly awaiting their journeys, while porters skillfully maneuver these elegant trollies through the crowds. These timeless pieces not only served as practical tools but also added an air of refinement to any station they adorned. As we admire this photograph today at STEAM Museum of the GWR, it serves as a poignant reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten. It allows us to appreciate the artistry behind even everyday objects like platform trollies and invites us into a world where style met functionality seamlessly
