23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
"September 29, 1934: A Moment of Respite Amidst Tragedy - Gallant Rescue Workers on the Way to a Rest Hut, Gresford Colliery Amidst the chaos and devastation of the Gresford Colliery disaster in Wales, this poignant image captures a moment of respite for the tireless rescue workers. The date was September 29, 1934, and the explosion that rocked the mine had claimed the lives of over 260 miners, leaving nearly 800 children bereaved. The resilient rescue team, accompanied by a nurse, makes their way to the rest hut. The gravity of the situation weighs heavily on their faces, yet their determination and unwavering commitment to save lives is palpable. The nurse, with a compassionate expression, offers a glimmer of hope and solace to the weary rescuers. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who risked their own lives to save others during the Gresford Colliery disaster. The image stands as a testament to the human spirit and the indomitable will to help those in need, even in the face of unimaginable loss. The aftermath of the explosion left a profound impact on the community, with the tragic event being etched into the annals of history. This image, along with countless others, serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of industrial accidents and the importance of safety measures to prevent such tragedies from recurring."
