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
This vintage railway poster, dating back to 1908, showcases the idyllic charm of the Selsey Tram. The poster was originally designed as a promotional tool for this beloved transportation system that operated between Chichester and Selsey from 1897 to 1935. Preserved within the Additional Manuscript Collection at West Sussex Record Office, its historical significance is undeniable. The image itself transports us to a bygone era of carefree summer days spent on the picturesque beaches of Selsey. A young girl takes center stage in this snapshot of nostalgia, her enthusiasm palpable as she clutches her bucket and spade – essential tools for any seaside adventure. Her beaming smile reflects the joyous anticipation that awaited those who embarked on this delightful tram journey. Rail travel served as an integral part of holiday experiences during this time, and this poster encapsulates that sentiment perfectly. It evokes memories of families embarking on leisurely trips together, creating cherished moments along sandy shores under sunny skies. While we admire this remarkable piece of history, it's important to note that commercial use should not be associated with it. Instead, let us appreciate how such posters captured the essence of destinations like Selsey and promoted rail travel as a means to explore new horizons – all while preserving our rich cultural heritage for generations to come.
