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 evocative photograph, titled "Workers at Charwelton, Northamptonshire," captures a moment in time from the Victorian era when steam power ruled the industrial landscape. The image, taken by Alfred Newton and Son in the year 1900, portrays a group of hardworking men toiling away at an ironstone quarry near the picturesque village of Charwelton. The men are seen huddled around a large, powerful steam engine, their faces etched with determination and focus. The engine, a testament to the technological advancements of the time, dominates the scene, its billowing steam and hissing pipes a reminder of the raw energy and power it possesses. The workers have made do with a small, makeshift hut for shelter, its rudimentary design a stark contrast to the impressive machinery that powers their labor. The quarry, with its mounds of ironstone and the Great Central Railway in the background, adds to the sense of industry and progress that permeates the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of labor during the Victorian era, a time when the demand for raw materials fueled the growth of industries and the expansion of railways. The workers, dressed in their heavy clothing and protective gear, are a reminder of the physical demands and hazards of the job. Despite the challenging conditions, the men in this photograph appear united in their purpose, their shared focus on the task at hand a testament to their resilience and determination. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit and the ingenuity that drove the Industrial Revolution forward, fueled by the seemingly limitless power of steam.
