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.

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.
Supplied with a hanging kit and ready to hang on arrival, this old cornish mine framed poster print is a straightforward way to add framed wall art to your space.
