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 bustling railway lines of Sidcup, Kent in 1937. The image showcases a dedicated railwayman meticulously gauging the tracks, ensuring precision and safety for every passing train. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from between the wars, evoking nostalgia for an era long gone. As we peer into the past through John Topham's lens, we are transported to a bygone time when railways were at their peak. The composition captures not only the railwayman but also his surroundings - the station platform and rails stretching into the distance. It serves as a reminder of how integral these workers were in keeping Europe's transportation system running smoothly during this period. In an age where technology reigns supreme, this photograph reminds us of simpler times when manual labor was essential for progress. It pays homage to those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to maintain our rail networks. Topham's skillful depiction invites viewers to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in maintaining railway lines and the historical significance they hold within our collective memory. This print is more than just an image; it is a testament to human dedication and ingenuity that shaped our modern world.
