Set into a linocut illustration, this poem describes the steep climb from Seatoller and the rugged slate-mining history of Honister Pass before dropping down to a calm, grey Buttermere. It will look wonderful on the wall of anyone who has walked these old paths and loves the fells.

Honister Pass

From Seatoller the road climbs steep,
At one in four, through crag and scree,
To where the mountain's slate lies deep,
And men still cut it, patiently.

The old paths show where, long ago,
Men ran the slate down, sled by sled,
With all that weight of stone in tow
Behind them, and the drop ahead.

Then west, the road winds down the fell
Beneath the Pike to Gatesgarth Farm,
Where Buttermere lies like a spell,
Stretched out ahead, and grey, and calm.

The print. A4 (21 x 29.7cm) or A3 (29.7 x 42cm). Framed in a solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, with shatterproof acrylic glazing and hanging fixtures fitted, or unframed on 200gsm fine-art paper, sent flat and ready for a frame of your own. Printed to order.

Sizes

A4 — 21 × 29.7 cm

A3 — 29.7 × 42 cm

Each size is the printed sheet itself. Framed, the 20 mm moulding sits outside it and there is no mount, so the whole sheet is on show. Unframed, it is sent flat, ready for a frame of your own.

Paper, frame and glazing

Printed on 200 gsm enhanced matte fine-art paper — no gloss and no glare, so the words read cleanly from across a room.

Framed in a 20 mm wide solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, glazed with shatterproof acrylic rather than glass, with a backing board and hanging fixtures already fitted.

Unframed prints are the same paper and the same print, sent flat.
