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.

This print captures the Tin Tabernacle FF98_00205, also known as St Chads Mission Church, nestled in the picturesque village of Blists Hill, Madeley, Shropshire. The exterior view showcases the church's entrance, inviting visitors to step into its rich history. Originally constructed in 1888 at Lodge Bank, Muxton, this corrugated iron church was specifically built to cater to the spiritual needs of colliery workers. Its relocation to this open-air museum exhibit in 1977 ensured that its legacy would be preserved for generations to come. Photographed by Eric de Mare between 1978 and 1980, this image beautifully encapsulates the essence of Victorian architecture and religious devotion.

Eric de Mare's keen eye for detail allows us a glimpse into a bygone era where faith played an integral role in people's lives. This photograph serves as a testament to both architectural ingenuity and community spirit. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured on film, let us reflect on how places like St Chads Mission Church have shaped our society today.
