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.

1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: The Cab of a Castle Class Locomotive at Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway" The photograph captures the intricate details of the cab of a Castle Class locomotive, a Pacific type 4-6-2 steam engine, housed at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway. This iconic locomotive, a masterpiece of British railway engineering, was designed by Charles Collett in 1923 and remained in service until the late 1960s. The cab is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the era. The control panel, located in the foreground, is a complex arrangement of levers, valves, and gauges that allowed the locomotive driver to manage the engine's power and speed. The large circular firebox, visible through the open cab window, fueled the engine with coal and provided the heat necessary to generate steam. The tall chimney, rising high above the cab, released the exhaust gases. The Castle Class locomotive was renowned for its power and elegance. Its distinctive casing, with its rounded curves and smooth lines, not only improved the engine's aerodynamics but also gave it a striking appearance. The cab, with its large windows and ergonomic design, provided the driver with an unobstructed view of the tracks, ensuring safe and efficient operation. The photograph offers a unique perspective into the world of steam railway travel. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of riding on this magnificent machine, as it roared down the tracks, pulling a long train of passengers through the picturesque countryside. The Castle Class locomotive, now preserved at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway, serves as a reminder of the golden age of steam travel and the engineering marvels that shaped our transportation history.
