Businessman Chairman Meeting National Coal Board
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
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to February 1947, witnessing a significant moment in history. The image captures the esteemed Sir Ben Smith at a meeting of Cannock Chase Miners, where they gathered to discuss the contentious topic of Sunday working at the colliery. Sir Ben Smith, an influential figure as both the Chairman of the National Coal Board and a prominent businessman, exudes authority and determination as he addresses the miners. His presence alone speaks volumes about the importance of this gathering and its potential impact on their lives. The photograph offers us a glimpse into an era defined by labor disputes and social change within the coal mining industry. It serves as a reminder of how crucial these meetings were for workers' rights and fair treatment amidst challenging times.
