Atmospheric Coal Coal Mining Colliery Miners
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 print transports us back to October 1992, capturing the powerful and atmospheric presence of Westoe Colliery against the backdrop of a striking sky. The silhouetted structure stands tall and proud, symbolizing an era defined by coal mining and industrial prowess. In this snapshot from the 1990s, we are reminded of the immense importance that coal held in shaping communities and fueling economies. The colliery's imposing figure serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication of countless miners who toiled beneath its surface. The composition is truly mesmerizing; with only shadows outlining its form, Westoe Colliery seems almost ethereal against the dramatic hues painted across the heavens. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for an industry that once thrived but has since evolved. This photograph by NCJ captures not just a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates an entire chapter in history. It invites us to reflect on how industries like coal mining have shaped our world while acknowledging their impact on both people and nature. As we gaze upon this image, let it serve as a reminder of our collective past – one filled with determination, resilience, and innovation. May it inspire conversations about progress, sustainability, and how we can honor those who came before us while forging new paths towards a brighter future.
