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
In this print captured by Albert Cooper, we are transported back to the 1970s in Woolley Colliery, near Barnsley. The image showcases a significant moment for the miners as they gather at the Welfare Club for an important ballot. Amongst them stands Arthur Scargill, a prominent figure in the National Union of Mineworkers. The photograph exudes a sense of unity and determination as these hardworking individuals exercise their democratic right to vote. Their weathered faces tell stories of resilience and sacrifice, reflecting the arduous nature of their work deep underground in the coal mines. Coal mining was not merely an industry but a way of life for these miners, shaping both their livelihoods and communities. It symbolized strength, camaraderie, and solidarity among workers who faced numerous challenges together. This powerful image also sheds light on the political landscape during that era when trade unions played a crucial role in advocating for workers' rights. The presence of Arthur Scargill further emphasizes his influence within this movement. Albert Cooper's print serves as a poignant reminder of our industrial heritage while honoring those who dedicated their lives to this demanding profession. It captures a pivotal moment where ordinary men come together to shape their future through peaceful means – casting ballots rather than wielding pickaxes or shovels. As we reflect upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember the sacrifices made by generations past and appreciate how far we have come since then.
