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 1908 transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Coverack and Dolor Point in St Keverne, Cornwall. The image showcases a breathtaking view across the corner of Perprean Cove, capturing the essence of this idyllic coastal location. In the foreground, we are treated to a glimpse of rugged cliffs and rocky shores that define Cornwall's natural beauty. The crystal-clear waters gently lap against the shore, inviting us to imagine ourselves strolling along its sandy beaches. On the right-hand edge of the picture stands the Coast Guard Station, an integral part of protecting these treacherous waters. Its presence adds a touch of authenticity to this snapshot from history. Notably, we spot a flag mast dressed for some celebratory occasion—a testament to community spirit and perhaps marking an important event in Coverack's past. The photographer behind this remarkable composition is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye captures every detail with precision and artistry. Through his lens, he encapsulates both Edwardian charm and Cornish allure—elements that continue to enchant visitors today. As we admire this vintage print from Royal Cornwall Museum, let it transport us on a journey through time—to an era when life moved at a slower pace amidst stunning landscapes like those found in Coverack and Dolor Point. Let it remind us that even as years pass by, there will always be timeless beauty waiting to be discovered within our own backyard.
