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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
A poignant moment frozen in time, this print captures the end of an era as a miner returns his lamp to the lamp room for the final time. It was the last shift at Cotgrave pit, marking a significant chapter in coal mining history. The year was 1992, and it symbolized the closure of yet another mine in England's East Midlands region. In this image from the 1990s, we see a hardworking miner wearing his donkey jacket and overalls, carrying his trusty lamp while sporting a sturdy hard hat – essential safety equipment for those working underground. The scene exudes both resilience and nostalgia as it showcases one man's dedication to an industry that shaped communities and livelihoods for generations. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the immense contribution made by miners across Nottinghamshire during this period. Their tireless efforts fueled industrial progress and powered countless homes throughout the United Kingdom. As we reflect on this snapshot from memory lane, let us honor not only the individuals depicted but also all those who played their part in shaping our nation's mining heritage. This print stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment amidst challenging conditions.
