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
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to November 1950, where a young Princess Elizabeth graces us with her presence at Swindon Works. Standing confidently on the footplate of Star Class locomotive No 4057, aptly named Princess Elizabeth in her honor, she exudes regal elegance and poise. This momentous occasion marked the official naming ceremony of the locomotive, and it is evident that all eyes were fixated on the radiant princess. Her timeless beauty shines through as she gazes into the distance with a sense of purpose and determination. The year was significant not only for its royal visit but also because it foreshadowed Queen Elizabeth II's ascension to the throne just two years later. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in history when an extraordinary woman embarked on an incredible journey that would shape not only her life but also an entire nation. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at how seamlessly royalty intertwines with industrial prowess. The juxtaposition between Princess Elizabeth's refined grace and the powerful machinery surrounding her creates a visually striking image that encapsulates both strength and sophistication. Decades may have passed since this enchanting encounter at Swindon Works, yet Queen Elizabeth II continues to inspire admiration worldwide. This print serves as a poignant reminder of her enduring legacy as one of Britain's most beloved monarchs.
