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 to the bustling Swindon Junction Station in Wiltshire during the 1950s. The image beautifully captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the station building, platforms, and signals that were once at the heart of this vibrant transportation hub. As we delve into this snapshot of history, we are transported to an era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks and train travel was a way of life. The station building stands proudly, exuding an air of grandeur with its architectural elegance. Passengers can be seen scurrying about on various platforms, eagerly awaiting their trains or bidding farewell to loved ones. The photograph's attention to detail is remarkable; every element seems meticulously placed. From the neatly arranged luggage carts to the intricate network of railway lines converging towards distant horizons, it paints a vivid picture of a bygone era. Stepping into this scene feels like stepping back in time – one can almost hear the hissing steam engines and feel their rhythmic vibrations underfoot. It serves as a poignant reminder that stations like Swindon Junction were not just places for transit but also gathering points where stories unfolded and journeys began. This print is more than just an archival piece; it is a gateway into our shared heritage and an invitation to explore how rail transport shaped communities throughout history.
