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 from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to a dramatic incident that unfolded around 1912. In the quaint village of St Stephen in Brannel, Cornwall, chaos ensued as a threshing machine collided with a towering hayrick. The aftermath is captured in this intriguing image, revealing the sheer force of impact. The scene is one of utter disarray; both the threshing machine and accompanying steam engine lay partially collapsed and overturned. Remarkably, they prop up the hayrick which leans over at an alarming angle, defying gravity itself. The once proud chimney from the steam engine now rests on the ground nearby, serving as a testament to this extraordinary collision. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their keen eye for detail has immortalized this momentous event. This photograph not only captures an accident but also serves as a reminder of Cornish heritage and its rich agricultural history. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when harvesting was a labor-intensive process filled with unpredictable challenges. It reminds us that even amidst adversity and unforeseen circumstances like accidents or mishaps during harvest season, resilience prevailed among those who worked tirelessly to sustain their communities
