About MeFramed and mounted print of Rubislaw Quarry face with derrick crane.

The image shows the quarry edge with vegetation above and the first quarry floor, with a large pit filling the lower right corner of the image. A derrick crane stands next to a shed on the first quarry floor, in the left corner of the image. The jib rises to the level of the quarry edge and 4 small figures can be seen around its base. Ladders and walkways can be seen on the quarry face descending from the first quarry level into the pit. In the left foreground of the image another 3 figures are walking on the first quarry level.

The frame is black with gold detail and there are 3 card mounts (white, pink and green).

There are no works to discover for this record.
