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 the bustling Newport Docks in 1950. The image showcases the S. S Lanarkshire, a magnificent vessel being loaded with materials destined for Australia. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of an overcast sky, this ship symbolizes both progress and adventure. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the colossal crane that dominates the scene. Its towering presence serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. With its long arm extended gracefully towards the boat, it effortlessly lifts heavy cargo from wagons onto the awaiting vessel. Surrounding this dynamic duo are rows upon rows of wagons filled with various supplies ready to be shipped across vast oceans. These humble yet essential components play their part in connecting nations and facilitating trade on a global scale. The docks themselves exude an aura of purposeful chaos, as workers scurry around like ants ensuring everything runs smoothly. Their dedication and hard work form an integral part of Newport's maritime history. This evocative print encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when seafaring was at its peak. It invites us to reflect on how transportation has evolved over decades while reminding us of our shared human desire for exploration and connection across continents.
