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
No. 6000 King George V" is a magnificent 4-6-0 King class steam locomotive, proudly displayed at the STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK. This iconic locomotive was built at Swindon Works in 1927, a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The King class locomotives, designed by George Churchward, were a significant advancement in steam locomotive technology. They were built to haul heavy express passenger trains on the Great Western Railway (GWR) network. No. 6000, named after King George V, is a prime example of this engineering marvel. The locomotive's exterior is adorned with intricate details, from the large, round belly tank to the elegant curves of the boiler and chimney. The number plate and nameplate, proudly bearing the monarch's name and the locomotive's number, add to its regal appearance. The interior of the locomotive is equally impressive. The cab is spacious and well-equipped, with a large firebox and a powerful boiler that could generate enough steam to propel the 100-tonne locomotive at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour. The engine room houses the massive pistons and connecting rods, which transfer the power from the steam to the wheels. No. 6000 King George V played an essential role in the GWR's history, pulling heavy express passenger trains across the network. It was retired from service in the late 1960s, but its legacy lives on at the STEAM Museum, where it serves as a reminder of the golden age of steam rail travel. Visitors to the museum can step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era as they explore the exhibits, including No. 6000 King George V. The locomotive is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the engineers who built it and the passion of the volunteers who keep its memory alive.
