2024 embossed copper plaque of "Golden arrow 1929" by Bill Payne gallery and museum artist born in 1951 and living in Worcestershire.6"x4" ,signed and dated on back.Image draws from vintage photos of the time. This type of copper art was done by fisherman in Newlyn ,Cornwall ,in the late Victorian age to about 1930 to add to the income of fisherman who were near the poverty line.My design was embossed on to a sheet of copper using a knitting needle then the indented image refined  either side of the original lines to make the image stand out..Then the surface was patinated over the gas hob and the surface polished with a brillo pad to give it age .Will look great in plain frame.It is new but looks old!! The wonderful Newlyn Copperworks thrives today making bespoke designs of a high end nature for interiors and exteriors .The Newlyn artists from the1880's until 1930's portrayed maritime scenes in all their emotions.Sad,happy,poor ,steadfast and long suffering..To Victorian urbanites fisherfolk seemed like a romantic idyll.Far from it.This is 
a small copper embossed image of Henry Segrave's Land Speed car "Golden Arrow"which in March1929 broke the land Speed record at Daytona beach ,USA wirh a speed of 231mph.This type of artwork lends itself to the embossed technique. especially as it is in copper polished to look like the Golden Arrow. ..
