31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 print, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of London on a summer day in 1962. The photograph captures an iconic moment as the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Frederick Hoare, proudly waves his flag and blows his whistle to grant passage to the legendary locomotive, the Flying Scotsman. The scene is filled with palpable excitement and anticipation as onlookers gather along the bustling streets to witness this historic event. The Flying Scotsman, a symbol of British engineering prowess and speed, prepares for its journey from London's grand King's Cross Station. Sir Frederick Hoare stands tall and resplendent in his ceremonial attire, embodying both authority and admiration for this magnificent machine. His gesture signifies not only respect for tradition but also an acknowledgment of progress and innovation. This photograph beautifully encapsulates a bygone era when steam trains ruled the rails and evokes nostalgia for a time when such spectacles were commonplace. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization, there remains an enduring fascination with our rich heritage. Preserved within TopFoto's extensive archive collection, this image allows us to glimpse into history through General's lens—a testament to their dedication in capturing moments that transcend time itself.
