19th Century Mining Pasty Victorian Pasties


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
In this print from the late 19th century, we are transported back to the bustling East Pool Mine in Illogan, Cornwall. The year is most likely 1893, and it's Croust time - a cherished Cornish tradition for a mid-morning refreshment break. A group of hardworking miners gather together, their faces filled with anticipation as they indulge in one of Cornwall's culinary delights: pasties. Seated amidst these rugged men is none other than the photographer's wife herself, adding a touch of familiarity and warmth to this historic scene. Her presence reminds us that even in the depths of mining work, there were moments when loved ones could join in on these precious breaks. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice two barrels nearby providing much-needed refreshment for these laborious souls. These barrels serve as a reminder that despite their arduous tasks underground, camaraderie and sustenance were never far away. This photograph beautifully captures not only an important era in Victorian mining history but also showcases the significance of pasties within Cornish culture. It serves as a testament to the resilience and unity found amongst those who toiled tirelessly beneath Cornwall's soil. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum today, this snapshot transports us back through time – allowing us to appreciate both the hardships faced by miners during this period and their treasured moments of respite during Croust time.
