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 1940, capturing a remarkable moment in railway history. The image showcases an Aveling & Porter geared locomotive diligently shunting on the Amberley Quarry Railway. With its powerful steam engine and intricate gears, this magnificent machine stands as a testament to the ingenuity of early locomotive engineering. The backdrop of this scene is equally enchanting, with Amberley Station peeking through in the distance. The exchange sidings provide a bustling atmosphere as workers go about their tasks, ensuring smooth operations on this vital railway line. Preserved within the Ronald Shephard Railway Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when steam-powered locomotives were at the heart of transportation networks. It serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage and pays homage to those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep these railways running smoothly. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it's important to appreciate not only the beauty captured within but also acknowledge that commercial use should be excluded from discussions surrounding this historical artifact. Let us treasure such images for their cultural significance and celebrate them as windows into our past rather than commodities for profit-making ventures.
