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 takes us back to the year 1892, capturing a significant moment in the history of South Condurrow Mine in Camborne, Cornwall. Four miners are depicted standing proudly within the Cathedral, an underground chamber deep within the mine's labyrinthine tunnels. The dimly lit cave walls create an eerie yet mesmerizing atmosphere that transports us into their world. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in what was to come for this mining site. In 1897, part of South Condurrow Mine was transferred to Camborne School of Mines and later became known as King Edward VII mine. This transfer marked a turning point for the property, as it would go on to play a crucial role in shaping future generations of miners and advancing mining techniques. Photographed by John Charles Burrow, this image beautifully captures both the harsh reality and undeniable allure of Cornish mining life during that era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the tireless efforts made by these brave individuals who risked their lives daily to extract valuable minerals from beneath Cornwall's rugged terrain. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back over a century ago when South Condurrow Mine stood tall as one of Cornwall's most important industrial sites.
