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 showcases a nostalgic view of Purton Station in Wiltshire. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with its charming steps leading up to a road bridge. As we gaze upon this snapshot, our eyes are drawn to the nameboard proudly displaying "Purton Station" evoking memories of bustling train platforms and eager travelers. The mid-20th century station building stands prominently in the frame, its overhanging roof providing shelter for passengers during inclement weather. This architectural feature adds character to an already picturesque scene, reminding us of simpler times when train travel was at its peak. Opening its doors in 1841, Purton Station served as a vital transportation hub for locals and visitors alike until it closed in 1964. This photograph transports us back to an era where steam engines chugged along these tracks and filled the air with their distinctive sounds and scents. As we reflect on this piece of history frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate how photography allows us to capture moments that would otherwise fade away into oblivion. This print serves as both a reminder and homage to Purton Station's significance within Wiltshire's rich heritage.
