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
This evocative photograph captures the stark contrast between the industrial world of coal mining and the rural beauty of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England. The view shows a colliery, with its tall, white chimney stack billowing out plumes of smoke, nestled among the rolling hills and dense woodlands of the forest. The colliery, with its maze of winding roads and railway lines, represents the industrious spirit of the working class community that once thrived in this region. The Forest of Dean, known for its ancient woodlands and rich history, has long been a source of inspiration for artists and writers. However, this image offers a glimpse into a different side of the forest's past, one marked by the hard labor and grit of the coal miners who toiled in the pits to extract the valuable resource. The photograph, taken from a distance, invites the viewer to reflect on the historical significance of the colliery and the role it played in shaping the region's economy and social fabric. The image also highlights the Welsh and English borderlands, with the Welsh side of the forest visible in the background. The Forest of Dean, which straddles both countries, has a complex history that reflects the cultural and economic ties between Wales and England. The photograph thus offers a poignant reminder of the region's rich industrial heritage and the enduring connection between the rural landscape and the working class communities that have shaped it.
