Locomotive Rail Railway Steam Track Train
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
In this vintage still, we witness the iconic moment when The Flying Scotsman gracefully departs from London's Kings Cross station for its final steam-hauled non-stop journey to Edinburgh on 1 May 1968. This photograph, preserved in the archives of TopFoto's picture library stock, encapsulates the timeless allure of train travel. The majestic locomotive stands tall and proud against a backdrop of billowing steam, ready to embark on its historic voyage. Its sleek design and powerful presence symbolize an era when rail travel was at its peak. The Flying Scotsman exudes an air of elegance as it prepares to conquer the tracks with utmost precision. The image captures not only the locomotive but also showcases the intricate network of railway lines that stretch into infinity. These tracks represent a lifeline connecting cities and communities across vast distances, enabling people to explore new horizons and forge lasting connections. Class A3 4472, affectionately known as Pacific among enthusiasts, epitomizes engineering excellence and innovation. It serves as a reminder of how human ingenuity can push boundaries and achieve remarkable feats. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene frozen in time by General's lens, we cannot help but be transported back to an era where steam power reigned supreme. It evokes nostalgia for a simpler time when journeys were savored rather than rushed through. This print is not just about transportation; it represents an enduring legacy that continues to captivate generations even today.
