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 in time to Hungerford Station in Berkshire, circa 1910. The image beautifully captures a bustling scene on the platform, as passengers eagerly await the arrival of an incoming train. Their faces are filled with anticipation and excitement, reflecting the sense of adventure that train travel brought during this era. In the foreground, we see porters diligently attending to their duties with trucks loaded up with luggage. These hardworking individuals play a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations at the station, handling baggage and assisting passengers as they embark on their journeys. The station buildings depicted in this photograph were sadly demolished in the early 1970s when Hungerford underwent significant changes and became an unstaffed halt. However, through this snapshot frozen in time, we can appreciate and reminisce about a bygone era when stations like Hungerford were vibrant hubs of activity. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how transportation has evolved over the years while also highlighting our enduring fascination with trains and railways. It allows us to step into history for just a moment and imagine what it must have been like to experience travel during those times - where every journey was filled with wonder and possibility.
