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 photo print, titled "Used in Blood and Roses - the centenary year folk music tour for Ewan MacColl" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image captures a group of young boys being trained as miners at Mossbeath Training School in Cowdenbeath, Fife on the 13th of March, 1948. In this snapshot from the forties, we witness these apprentices preparing themselves for a future underground, where coal mining was an essential industry. Their serious expressions reflect the weight of responsibility they would soon shoulder as they followed in the footsteps of their forefathers. The presence of Bevin Boys is also noteworthy here. These were conscientious objectors who were conscripted into non-combatant roles during World War II but chose to work in coal mines instead. This photograph serves as a reminder of their contribution to society during those challenging times. As we delve deeper into this powerful image by General from TopFoto, it becomes evident that it holds more than just historical significance; it represents an era defined by hard work and determination. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who dedicated their lives to fueling industrial progress. Let this print transport you back to an era when coal mining played a vital role in shaping communities and economies alike – a testament to human resilience amidst adversity.
