Devon Porter Station Card Churston Truck
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 Churston Station, circa 1960. The image showcases a picturesque view of the station's platform, specifically designated for the branch line leading to Brixham. As our eyes wander through this snapshot of history, we are drawn to a diligent porter who can be seen meticulously sorting out cages on a card truck. It is presumed that these cages were used for transporting fish from the bustling harbor nearby. The charm and authenticity of this scene are further enhanced by the presence of an elegant railway Hotel situated towards the right side of the photograph. This establishment not only served as a place for weary travelers to rest their heads but also acted as a hub where stories were exchanged and connections forged. In this single frame frozen in time, we witness not just an ordinary train station but rather a vibrant microcosm teeming with life and activity. The nostalgia evoked by this image transports us back to an era when railways played an integral role in connecting communities and facilitating trade. As we delve into this remarkable piece of history captured on paper, it reminds us how vital preserving such moments is; allowing future generations to appreciate and understand our past while recognizing how far we have come since then.
