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 photograph captures the essence of the bygone era of steam locomotive travel, featuring the iconic 4-2-2 Rover class locomotive named Inkermann. Built in 1878, this steam engine was a part of the Great Western Railway (GWR) fleet during the late 1800s. The 'B Road' classification indicates that it was a passenger locomotive, designed specifically for pulling trains on the branch lines of the railway network. The Rover class locomotives, including Inkermann, were an important innovation in railway engineering during the 1870s. They were the first locomotives to be designed with a leading bogie, which significantly improved their adhesion and stability on the rails. This advancement allowed for smoother and more efficient train journeys, enhancing the overall passenger experience. Inkermann, with its distinctive design and powerful presence, was in service for just over a decade before being withdrawn in 1892. This photograph, taken in the 1880s, provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the locomotive in its prime. The intricate details of the engine, from the bell and whistle at the cab to the large driving wheels, are all on display. The steam billowing from the chimney and the clouds of smoke in the background add to the authenticity and drama of the scene. Today, Inkermann is a cherished piece of railway history, preserved and showcased at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway. This photograph serves as a reminder of the engineering marvels of the past and the role that steam locomotives played in shaping the transportation landscape of the late 19th century.
