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 1895 transports us back to the bustling mining era in Cornwall, specifically to the Wheal Friendly Mine located in Trevaunance Cove, St Agnes. The image captures a unique perspective as it is taken from below, allowing us to marvel at the grandeur of the building and its smoking stack that have witnessed various industrial activities throughout history. Once serving as a foundry, tin stream works, and factory over time, this structure stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich mining heritage. On the skyline towards the right of center proudly stands the impressive 70-inch engine house of Wheal Prudence in Perranzabuloe. Its towering presence symbolizes both progress and determination within an industry that shaped countless lives. The skilled photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is none other than Herbert Hughes who skillfully captured not only architectural details but also conveyed a sense of awe for these monumental structures against Cornwall's picturesque backdrop. As we gaze upon this historic scene today, let us reflect on the resilience and ingenuity of those who worked tirelessly within these mines. Their labor laid foundations for communities while leaving an indelible mark on Cornish culture. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past and invites us to appreciate how far we have come since those days when mining dominated these landscapes.
