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
Sunset at Wheal Coates: A Glimpse into Cornwall's Industrial Past This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking sunset over Wheal Coates, a former tin mine located on the cliff top between Porthtowan and St. Agnes on Cornwall's north coast. The image showcases the Towanroath Shaft Pumping Engine House, a once-vital structure in the area's rich mining history. The atmospheric scene presents a striking contrast between the industrial past and the natural beauty of the coast. The disused engine house, with its towering chimney and rusted machinery, stands proudly against the backdrop of the calm, turquoise sea. The grassy cliffs, dotted with wildflowers, provide a stark contrast to the industrial structure. The sun, setting behind the mine, casts an orange glow over the scene, illuminating the engine house and the surrounding landscape. The sky is painted with hues of pink, orange, and purple, creating a serene and picturesque moment. Wheal Coates was once a thriving tin mine, contributing significantly to Cornwall's mining industry. The site operated from the late 18th century until the late 19th century, employing hundreds of people. The Towanroath Shaft Pumping Engine House was built in the 1840s to drain the mine's flooded workings. Today, the site serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich industrial heritage and the area's fascinating history. The sunset at Wheal Coates offers a moment of reflection, inviting us to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and the legacy of the past.
