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 1911 transports us to the mystical landscape of Men-an-Tol in Madron, Cornwall. The image showcases a general view of this ancient archaeological site, with its iconic holed stone taking center stage. Standing proudly amidst the rugged moorland, the Men-an-Tol is shrouded in mystery and folklore. To the left of this enigmatic stone formation, we see a reclining man, perhaps lost in deep contemplation or seeking solace within these sacred surroundings. His presence adds a sense of scale and perspective to the scene, emphasizing both the grandeur and humbling nature of this historic place. Flanking either side are two standing stones that stand as silent guardians over this timeless landscape. These weathered sentinels bear witness to countless generations who have passed through here, leaving behind traces of their existence for archaeologists to unravel. The photographer responsible for capturing this remarkable moment was Herbert Hughes. Through his lens, he immortalized not just an archaeological site but also conveyed the ethereal beauty found within Cornwall's wild landscapes. As we gaze upon this evocative print from Royal Cornwall Museum, our imagination is ignited by thoughts of ancient rituals performed at Men-an-Tol and tales whispered among gorse-covered hillsides. It serves as a poignant reminder that history lives on through such preserved treasures and encourages us to explore further into Cornwall's rich heritage.
