31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 captures the raw and unyielding reality of coal mining in South Wales during the late 19th or early 20th century. Several coal miners, their faces blackened from the soot and grime of the pit, stand in a shaft lift at the end of their grueling shift. The lift, a rudimentary and dangerous means of transporting miners and coal up and down the mine shaft, is a testament to the harsh and manual labor that was a daily part of life for these workers. The miners, dressed in heavy clothing and protective gear, appear weary and worn, their faces etched with the lines of hard work and the weight of the physical and mental strain that came with it. The chains and gears of the lift loom overhead, a constant reminder of the industrial machinery that powered the colliery and the relentless demands of the industry. This image offers a glimpse into the past, a window into the lives of the men and women who toiled in the coal mines of South Wales. It is a reminder of the difficult and often dangerous conditions that they faced, and the sacrifices they made in the name of industry and progress. Despite the challenges, the miners stood strong, their resilience and determination shining through in their determined expressions and their unwavering commitment to their work. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the rich industrial history of South Wales and the important role that coal mining played in shaping the region and the lives of its people. It is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and grit of the miners and their families, and a reminder of the sacrifices that were made in the name of progress and industry.
