Cornish Tin Mines greeting cards - beautifully printed and designed to make an impression.
A black and white view of South Wheal Frances Mine gives this scene a distinctive and timeless presence on a greeting card. The strong contrast and simple composition make it suitable for a wide range of occasions, offering a thoughtful and visually engaging option.
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. Once part of a network of mines that shaped the Cornish landscape and economy, the remaining engine houses and chimneys now stand as reminders of 19th-century mining activity. These structures were built to house steam engines used for pumping water and raising ore from deep underground.
Presented in monochrome, the engine house and chimney appear as strong forms against a textured sky. The absence of colour emphasises the rough stone surfaces and architectural details, while surrounding vegetation blends into softer tones. The composition focuses on shape and contrast, giving the scene a timeless quality.

Brilliant! My print is beautiful. I initially ordered the wrong product due to my own error but Carol was so supportive and helpful I cannot recommend her/this company enough.
