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 evocative photograph captures Newton Abbot Station in Devon during the year 1945. The scene showcases Southern Railway locomotive No. 1848, proudly standing at the platform, ready to embark on its next journey. The station, located in the heart of Devon, underwent an extensive extension and rebuild between the wars, opening in April 1927. Designed by the renowned architect Culverhouse, the station building boasted a modern and stylish appearance, a stark contrast to the rustic charm of the surrounding countryside. The year 1945 marked a significant period in the history of Newton Abbot Station, as the country was recovering from the devastating effects of World War II. The station, much like the rest of the country, was adapting to the changing times. The Southern Railway locomotive, a symbol of the era, stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the people during those challenging times. The photograph transports us back to a bygone era, where steam trains ruled the rails and the simple pleasure of travel by train was a cherished experience. The station, with its elegant design and the powerful locomotive, stands as a reminder of the rich railway heritage that Devon and the South West possess. This photograph, a precious piece of history, invites us to imagine the stories that unfolded at Newton Abbot Station during the 1940s.
