History has definitely been revealed on the shore of Long Rock near Penzance, but not the facts it seems. In the daily tabloids this wreck has it seems wrongly been linked to the French Brigantine the Jeune Hortense that first went aground here in 1888, but according to the Penwith Historical society, it seems this wreck is not of that ship at all, but possibly of the Petrellen instead. The Petrellen went aground in 1885 at almost exactly the same location, and was never refloated like the Jeune Hortense. The article is here: http://www.penwithlocalhistorygroup.co.uk/on-this-day/?id=144 
I’ve never seen this wreck before in all the years I’ve been to this beach, so it was a brilliant surprise to stumble across this huge keel yesterday (17th Jan 2020). WIth St Michael’s mount in the background the strong sense of real history of this area sort of comes together in this picture. 

Print Info - An important read

NB - COPYRIGHT WATERMARK DOES NOT APPEAR IN FINAL PRINT

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.

PRINT SIZES:

Prints and editions are available as follows
All prints have a border.

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