17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 takes us back to the 1920s, offering a glimpse into the past at Wishford Station near Salisbury in Wiltshire. The image showcases the station's second platform, which was constructed in 1901 when the railway line doubled its capacity. Wishford Station, established in 1856, played an integral role in connecting the surrounding villages of Great Wishford and Little Wishford with the rest of England. Serving as a vital transportation hub for nearly a century, this historic site witnessed countless journeys and shared precious memories. The station building itself stands proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery that characterizes Wiltshire's countryside. Its architecture exudes timeless charm and hints at an era long gone by. Meanwhile, diligent station staff members can be seen bustling about their duties on this bustling platform. A notable feature captured within this photograph is the covered footbridge that spans across both platforms. This architectural marvel not only adds aesthetic appeal but also offers convenience to passengers navigating between trains. Sadly, like many other stations during that time period, Wishford Station met its demise in 1955 when it closed its doors forever. However, through images such as these preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR (not the company), we are able to cherish and appreciate our rich railway heritage while paying homage to those who once traveled through these very tracks.
