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 print showcases the Poynton and Worth Colliers Library and Reading Room, a significant establishment on Lord Vernon's estate in Poynton. The library was a beacon of education for all workers on the estate, operating on a subsidised subscription basis to ensure access to knowledge for everyone.
The image captures a moment in history when social reform and educational opportunities were beginning to take root in mining communities like Poynton. The library served as a hub for learning, offering books and resources to help uplift the working class through knowledge.
Lord Vernon's philanthropic efforts are evident in this photograph, showcasing his dedication to providing education and empowerment to his workers. The library stands as a testament to his commitment to improving the lives of those who labored in the coal mines.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back in time to an era where access to education was not guaranteed for all. The Poynton and Worth Colliers Library and Reading Room symbolize progress, enlightenment, and hope for a brighter future for all members of society.
This print is not just a snapshot from the past; it is a reminder of the power of education and how it can transform lives and communities for generations to come.
