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.

In this poignant print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the coal mining era of South Wales in the 1990s. The image captures a significant moment as a dedicated coal miner meticulously inspects his fellow miners' hats at a colliery. The atmosphere is palpable, with dust-laden air and worn-out faces revealing the harsh realities of their laborious work underground. These brave men risked their lives daily to extract precious coal that fueled industries and powered communities. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of the immense camaraderie and reliance within these tight-knit mining communities. The miner's careful examination of each hat symbolizes not only his commitment to safety but also an unspoken bond among colleagues who depended on one another for survival. This photograph encapsulates an era when coal was king, shaping economies and livelihoods across South Wales. It stands as a testament to the resilience and unwavering spirit of those who worked tirelessly beneath the earth's surface.
