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
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the charm and history of Weymouth's Radipole Lake. The focal point is an unknown saddletank steam locomotive gracefully traversing the old timber bridge, as it makes its way towards Portland from Weymouth. This picturesque scene paints a vivid picture of how transportation once intertwined with nature in this quaint corner of Dorset. The timber bridge, which stood proudly until 1908 before being replaced, served as a vital link for the Weymouth and Portland Railway. Its demise may have been inevitable, but this snapshot immortalizes its rustic beauty forever. In the foreground, we are greeted by a group of elegant swans gliding across Radipole Lake's calm waters. These graceful creatures were not only cherished locals but also attracted visitors from far and wide even then. Today, they continue to captivate hearts and minds alike. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured over a century ago, it serves as a reminder that progress often comes at the cost of losing beloved landmarks. Yet through photographs like these, we can still appreciate their significance and transport ourselves back to simpler times when steam engines chugged along wooden bridges while nature flourished around them.
