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
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a bygone era, specifically the 1930s, as we are transported to Hungerford Station in Berkshire. The image captures an eerily serene moment at this once bustling railway hub. As we gaze upon the scene, it becomes apparent that time has stood still - not a single soul can be seen on the tracks or platforms. The station buildings, which were an integral part of this vibrant transportation hub, met their unfortunate demise in 1971 when Hungerford transformed into an unstaffed halt. However, through this photograph, we are granted a glimpse into its former glory and significance. The composition showcases the architectural beauty of Hungerford Station's passenger bridge and platform structures. These elements stand tall against a backdrop of empty tracks that once carried countless passengers and trains alike. One cannot help but imagine the hustle and bustle that would have filled these very spaces during its heyday. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a poignant reminder of how our world evolves over decades. It prompts us to reflect on how technology has revolutionized travel and transport systems since those simpler times depicted here. This photograph is more than just an image; it encapsulates history within its frame and invites us to appreciate both where we've come from and where we're headed next in our ever-changing journey through time.
