South Wheal Frances Cornish Tin Mine Foam Backed Print
South Wheal Frances Cornish Tin Mine Foam Backed Prints.
Enjoy a premium photographic print with three paper options, each designed to suit different lighting conditions and artistic preferences:
- Lustre Photographic - A semi-matt finish with a subtle, speckled sheen that reduces glare, making it perfect for well-lit spaces or rooms with direct sunlight.
- Gloss Photographic - A bold, high-gloss finish that enhances depth and contrast, ideal for striking imagery that stands out.
- Fine Art Matt – A luxurious 308gsm Hahnemühle paper with a smooth, ultra-matte surface and rich colour depth, offering a refined, three-dimensional look.
Each print is mounted onto black, 3mm Foamex - an ultra-durable, moisture-resistant PVC substrate that remains lightweight yet rigid. Perfect for displaying on an easel or mounting with the included Velcro strips, without the need for framing.
Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.
Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.
The use of acid-free papers and archival inks ensures that your print will last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
South Wheal Frances is a former copper and tin mine on the Great Flat Lode, just south of Camborne, Cornwall, and was the largest of the four setts that eventually amalgamated under the umbrella of Basset Mines Ltd.
Mining began in the local area in the early 1720s and by the early 20th century, several thousand men, women, bal maidens and children worked in the mine, however a slump in tin prices during World War I led to the mine's closure in 1918.
