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
Step back in time with this print of Barnstaple Victoria Road Station, Devon, taken in the 1920s. This station holds a rich history as the western terminus of the renowned Devon and Somerset Railway, which later came under the ownership of GWR (Great Western Railway). Serving as a vital transportation hub since its opening in 1873, this charming station witnessed countless journeys and stories unfold within its walls. The image captures an era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks and passengers eagerly awaited their departures or arrivals. The architecture showcases Victorian charm, with intricate details adorning the façade. Passengers can be seen bustling about on the platform, dressed in period attire that transports us to a bygone era. Sadly, like many other stations across Britain's railway network during the mid-20th century, Barnstaple Victoria Road Station ceased passenger operations in 1960 due to changing travel patterns. However, it continued serving freight traffic until 1970 before finally closing its doors for good. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our railway heritage and allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical significance of this once-thriving transport hub. Displayed proudly at STEAM Museum of GWR, it invites visitors to immerse themselves in nostalgia while exploring our nation's rich railway past.
