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 year 1936, transporting us into the heart of the F Shop - Steam Hammer Shop at the STEAM Museum of the GWR. The image captures a pivotal moment in industrial history as skilled workers forge a connecting rod with sheer precision and expertise. The atmosphere within this bustling workshop is palpable; thick clouds of steam enveloping the scene, while sparks fly from every corner. Amidst this symphony of machinery, we witness a group of dedicated craftsmen meticulously shaping metal using an enormous hammer. Their synchronized movements reveal years of experience and an unwavering commitment to their craft. Every detail in this photograph tells a story: from the worn-out aprons draped over their sturdy frames to their focused expressions etched with determination. It is evident that these men possess not only physical strength but also an innate understanding of metallurgy and engineering principles. As we gaze upon this frozen moment in time, we are reminded of how far technology has advanced since then. Yet, there is something undeniably captivating about witnessing human skill and ingenuity at work without modern-day automation. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both our industrial heritage and those unsung heroes who labored tirelessly behind closed doors to shape our world. It stands as a tribute to their dedication, reminding us that progress is built on the foundations laid by generations before us.
