ABOUT THE IMAGE

Just outside Salen on the Isle of Mull, two derelict fishing boats - Pavonia (built in Banff, 1955) and Elsie May (a prawn boat from Oban, late 1960s) - linger on the shoreline, abandoned when restoration plans fell through in the 1970s. A local reportedly acquired them for salvage but later abandoned the idea. These haunting relics have weathered into silent, photogenic sculptures against the backdrop of the Sound of Mull, just a short drive from Craignure en route to Tobermory. Locals call it a photographer's right-of-way - magical in the right light, but fading forever under the elements.

My photograph leans into the stillness and silence of the scene - broken hulls, faded paint, and the sense of something left behind. The low, haunted tones bring out every crack and curve in the wood. It's a piece that feels quiet and weighty, perfect for adding a bit of atmosphere to a wall that needs more than just colour.

Original photography by Carol Herbert - available only at Real World Art.

The 3 Ladies 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 Hahnemuhle 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.

Care Instructions

Handle with Clean, Dry Hands - Oils and dirt from your fingers can damage the surface. 
Avoid Direct Sunlight - Even with high-quality archival paper, prolonged UV exposure can cause fading over time.
Avoid areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens, to prevent warping or discolouration. 
Glossy prints are more prone to fingerprints and scratches, so avoid unnecessary contact.

Cleaning:

Lustre: Dust Gently with a Soft Cloth - A clean, dry microfibre cloth can remove dust without scratching the surface. 
Gloss: Use an Anti-Static Brush for Dusting - Gloss prints attract more dust, so a soft brush helps maintain a clean surface. If smudges appear, use a slightly damp microfibre cloth and blot (don't rub!) to avoid scratching. 
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag: Avoid wiping or using moisture. Gently remove dust with an air blower or a soft, dry brush to preserve the delicate texture.
