Antrim Barbour Linen Sons Thread
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
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at Wm. Barbour and Sons Linen Thread Works in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. Located in the heart of the Irish Linen Industry, the factory was a significant contributor to the region's economy during this period. The image showcases the impressive size and scale of the facility, with its tall chimneys billowing smoke into the sky, and the sprawling buildings housing the various stages of the linen thread production process. The workers, both men and women, can be seen clad in protective clothing, diligently tending to the machines or transporting bales of linen thread between buildings. The intricate machinery, some of which was imported from England, is a testament to the advanced technology of the time, and the precision and skill required to operate it. The Linen Thread Works was a family-owned business, with William Barbour and his sons at the helm. The Barbour family had been involved in the linen industry for generations, and their expertise and dedication to quality were reflected in the high-grade linen thread produced at the factory. The thread was exported to various parts of the world, including the United States, and was used in the production of fine fabrics for the fashion industry. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of the Irish Linen Industry and the people who worked in it. The image is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Northern Ireland and the important role that industries like Wm. Barbour and Sons Linen Thread Works played in shaping its economic and social landscape.
