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
Step back in time with this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum. Taken around 1900, it transports us to the Wheal Trannack Mine in Sithney, Cornwall. The image showcases a remarkable juxtaposition of elements that define the region's rich history. In the foreground, we are greeted by an intricate network of stamps and a majestic waterwheel. These powerful machines were integral to the mining process, tirelessly crushing ore and extracting precious minerals from deep within the earth. Their imposing presence serves as a reminder of both human ingenuity and relentless perseverance. As our gaze shifts towards the background, we are treated to a breathtaking sight: the viaduct for Helston branch line spanning across lush green fields. Against this picturesque backdrop, a steam train gracefully traverses its tracks alongside carriages filled with passengers eagerly embarking on their journey. The photographer behind this extraordinary snapshot remains unknown; however, their skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this moment frozen in time. It is through such images that we can appreciate not only Cornwall's industrial heritage but also its natural beauty and resilience. This print offers an invaluable glimpse into Cornish history—a testament to those who worked tirelessly beneath these lands and those who traveled above them on iron rails. Let it transport you back to an era defined by innovation, determination, and boundless possibilities.
