King 6000

Premium Frame 17"x15" (43x38cm)

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.

Ready to Hang FSC Real Wood Frame and Double Mounted with White Conservation Mountboard. To ensure the paper is held securely the visible picture may be marginally smaller than quoted.

EDITORS COMMENTS

King George V, the monarch of the United Kingdom from 1910 to 1936, is depicted in this photograph as he personally takes the reins of power, not just as a monarch, but also as an enthusiastic railway engineer. The image captures the King in the cab of a steam locomotive, number 6000, which was named in his honor, as he expertly hauls an express train along the tracks of the Great Western Railway (GWR). The year is 1928, and the King's visit to the GWR was a significant event for the railway industry and the people of Britain. The railway had been a vital part of the country's infrastructure since its inception, and the opportunity to see their monarch at the helm of a steam engine was a source of great pride and excitement. The King's interest in railways was well-known, and he was an accomplished engineer in his own right. He had even designed and built a model railway at Sandringham, his country estate. This personal connection to the railway industry made his visit to the GWR even more meaningful. The photograph captures the King in his element, with a determined expression on his face and a firm grip on the controls. The steam engine roars to life, billowing clouds of smoke as it gains speed, pulling the express train along the tracks. The scene is one of raw power and determination, with the King at the helm, embodying the spirit of progress and innovation that defined the age. This photograph is a testament to the King's love for the railway industry and his commitment to the advancement of technology. It is a reminder of a bygone era when monarchs were not just figures of ceremony but also active participants in the daily life of their people. The image is a treasured artifact at the Steam Museum of the GWR, a symbol of the rich history and heritage of the railway industry in Britain.
