Cornish Tin Mines greeting cards - beautifully printed and designed to make an impression.
A clear view of South Wheal Frances Mine with its prominent chimney gives this scene a strong and engaging presence on a greeting card. The balanced composition and historic subject make it suitable for a wide range of occasions.
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.
A stone engine house stands prominently with a tall chimney rising above it, framed against a bright sky. A narrow path leads directly toward the building, drawing the eye into the scene. The surrounding vegetation softens the industrial structure, while the light highlights the texture of the stonework and the clean lines of the composition.

Thrilled to bits with the picture , better than expected
Brilliant experience and service, we have the Highland Cow framed print, my other half being a lover of cattle and cows and it looks incredible on our picture wall! Thanks 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.
Fantastic artwork, great service, from ordering to delivery
Loved this image of our wedding day and was appropriate for our anniversary too...
