23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
No. 4062 Malmesbury Abbey, a majestic 4-6-0 Star Class Locomotive, proudly stands at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway. Built in May 1922 at Swindon Works, this locomotive is a testament to the engineering prowess of the GWR during the early 20th century. The Star Class, designed by George Churchward, was a significant development in GWR locomotive design, featuring a Belpaire firebox and a superheated boiler for improved efficiency. No. 4062, named after the historic town of Malmesbury and its iconic abbey, was one of 120 locomotives built for the Star Class. The Star Class locomotives saw extensive use on the GWR network, hauling passenger and freight trains with ease. Their powerful 4-6-0 wheel arrangement and large boilers enabled them to tackle the challenging gradients and curves of the network's branch lines. No. 4062 Malmesbury Abbey was withdrawn from service in 1962, but was preserved for future generations to appreciate. Today, it is a cherished exhibit at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway, where visitors can marvel at its intricate details and the engineering marvels of the past. The locomotive's gleaming brass fittings, polished steel wheels, and the distinctive Star Class chimney stack are a sight to behold. The intricate details of the engine's design, from the valve gear to the cab fittings, are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the GWR's engineers. No. 4062 Malmesbury Abbey is not just a locomotive, but a piece of history that tells the story of the GWR and the role it played in shaping the railway network of the UK. A visit to the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway is an opportunity to step back in time and experience the magic of steam rail travel.
