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 evocative photograph captures the Apprentice Training School intake of 1979 at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway (GWR). The image transports us back in time to an era when apprenticeships were the primary route for young people to embark on a career in engineering. The photograph shows a group of eager and determined apprentices, all dressed in their smart uniforms, gathered in front of the iconic steam locomotive, 'City of Truro'. Their expressions convey a sense of pride and anticipation as they embark on their training journey. The presence of the locomotive symbolizes the link between their education and the practical application of engineering principles in the railway industry. The Apprentice Training School at the Steam Museum of the GWR was an integral part of the railway's history, providing young people with the skills and knowledge required to maintain and operate the steam trains that once dominated the British railway network. The intake of 1979 was just one of many groups of apprentices who went through the rigorous training program, which included both classroom instruction and hands-on experience in the workshop. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and commitment of the apprentices, as well as the importance of vocational training in shaping the careers of future engineers. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of the railway industry and the vital role that apprenticeships continue to play in providing opportunities for young people to learn valuable skills and build a rewarding career.
