A Shop Diesel Railcar Swindon Works No 1
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 1930s, capturing a significant moment in railway history. Here we see Diesel Railcar No 1 undergoing meticulous work at A Shop in Swindon Works. The image exudes an atmosphere of industriousness and innovation that defined this era. The railcar, with its sleek design and powerful diesel engine, represents a groundbreaking advancement in locomotive technology. As it sits inside the bustling workshop, surrounded by skilled workers and their tools, one can't help but marvel at the intricate craftsmanship involved in maintaining such a magnificent machine. Swindon Works itself holds immense historical significance as one of the most important locomotive manufacturing centers during Britain's golden age of railways. This photograph serves as a testament to the dedication and expertise of those who worked tirelessly within these walls. The monochrome tones add depth to the image, emphasizing every detail from the worn-out paint on the railcar's exterior to each worker's focused expression. It transports us back in time when steam engines were gradually being replaced by more efficient diesel-powered trains. Preserved today at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this print not only captures a specific moment but also pays homage to an entire era that forever transformed transportation systems worldwide. It stands as a reminder of human ingenuity and our ceaseless quest for progress even amidst challenging times.
