The Kennall Vale Nature Reserve is a very well-hidden valley between Redruth and Falmouth, Cornwall. It was the site of the Kennall Vale gunpowder factory which started production about 1812 and supplied the local Cornish mines, employing about 50 men by 1850. When more sophisticated explosives came onto the market in the 1880s, the factory declined before closing in the early 1900s.
In May 1838 'Five mills blew up in succession, and part of a roof was found a mile from the premises. The reports were most terrific and created the greatest alarm over an extensive tract of country'. Amazingly only one man lost his life.

Framed poster prints are often chosen for their simplicity, but low-quality paper, flimsy frames, and awkward self-framing can quickly ruin the result. This framed poster print is designed to avoid those compromises, offering a well-made, ready-to-hang solution that looks good and lasts.
Printed on premium 170gsm semi-gloss paper, the poster delivers strong colour reproduction with a subtle shine that enhances detail without overpowering the image. The semi-gloss finish improves vibrancy while offering increased resistance to light and moisture compared to standard poster papers, helping the artwork retain its appearance over time. All paper used is FSC-certified or equivalent, supporting responsible sourcing.
The solid pine wood frame provides a sturdy, clean-lined presentation without unnecessary bulk. Available in black, white, natural wood or dark brown, each frame features a smooth or natural grain finish depending on colour choice. With a profile measuring approximately 20 to 25mm thick and 10 to 14mm wide, the frame offers a balanced look that works well for framed posters in both home and office spaces.
Each framed poster is protected with shatterproof plexiglass, a lightweight alternative to traditional glass that offers clear visibility while reducing the risk of damage during handling or display. The surface is easy to clean and helps protect the poster from everyday wear.

Thank you so very much the mugs are really lovely and you have kept me informed how my order was doing right up to the delivery, your service is 1st class and I will be doing business with you again.
I'm absolutely made up with the print I received from Real World Art. I went for the Koi Carp image - It's very evocative and they've totally captured the serenity you feel watching Koi. You can almost hear the babbling water! What's more, it's a top quality print, pin-sharp and looks great framed up. Couldn't recommend them any higher.. lovely to deal with.. thank you.
