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.

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.

Winching Men Up from the Coalface - Wales (circa 1910s): A captivating photograph capturing the essence of the coal mining industry in Wales during the 1910s. In this image, a group of hardworking miners are seen ascending from the coalface, their faces etched with the marks of toil and sweat. The men are being winched up to the surface using a pulley system, their bodies swaying gently in the rhythmic motion of the lift. The central figure, dressed in heavy workwear and wearing a Davy lamp suspended from his belt, gazes upwards with a determined expression. The Davy lamp, an essential safety device used to prevent gas explosions in coal mines, adds a poignant reminder of the hazardous conditions endured by these miners. Despite the arduous nature of their work, the men's faces bear smiles and a sense of camaraderie, reflecting the resilience and solidarity that bound the mining community. The colliery, with its tall chimneys and belching smoke, looms in the background, a testament to the industry's relentless drive for production. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of coal mining in Wales, a critical industry that shaped the region's economy and social fabric for generations. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles of the miners and their families, and the indelible mark they left on the annals of industrial history.
