"This is the deserted mining town of Kolmonskop in Western Namibia. In 1909 diamonds were found here and this industrial hamlet developed. The nearby harbour town of Lüderitz nearby also gained rapid prosperity.
Since then however diamonds are mostly found elsewhere and so these towns went into decline. This small industrial complex is forever fighting to remain above the gale-blown desert sands but this and Lüderitz are still incredible places to visit as so little has changed at all since the early twentieth century.
It’s quite eerie standing inside the large derelict buildings, the winds literally howling through the broken windows and doors and dunes almost visibly being created in front of your eyes"

ABOUT THE PRINTS:
Glyn's prints are all produced on soft-textured, archival cotton-rag paper, using archival pigment inks. The manufacturer's estimated lifespan for these prints is over 200 years when behind glass & viewed under artificial lighting.
Each print is signed & titled by the artist, and the editioned prints are obviously numbered as well. Glyn limit's his print editions to short quantities, so you are purchasing much rarer artworks than the mass-produced prints seen in furniture & home stores.
Editions range from 3 to 30 copies in the A2 & A1 size, and just 5 copies in the A0 size.

Prints have been shipped to the EU, USA and Australia without any issues so far.
