Carpet Dwarf Of A Human Phenomenon Pedestal For Daytime

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century photograph titled "Portrait of a Dwarfed Woman" we are transported to the bustling city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The image showcases a remarkable individual whose presence commands attention and curiosity. The woman stands proudly amidst an array of exquisite furnishings, hinting at her importance within civic spaces. Dressed in fashionable attire befitting the era, she dons an elegant hat adorned with intricate details that accentuate her unique style. Her headdress adds an air of mystery and allure, leaving us intrigued by her story. It is through such accessories that she asserts her identity as both civilian and perhaps even religious figure. The photographer Millen skillfully captures not only the physical attributes but also the inner strength radiating from this dwarfed woman's portrait. Despite being physically smaller than average, she exudes confidence and resilience—a testament to the indomitable spirit residing within all human beings. Adjacent to our subject stands a statue on its pedestal—an interesting juxtaposition symbolizing how society often elevates certain individuals while marginalizing others based on their physical appearance or stature. This thought-provoking composition invites us to reflect upon our own biases and prejudices towards those who may differ from societal norms. Through this beautifully preserved print from Alinari, we are reminded that every person has a story worth telling—a narrative that transcends mere appearances or physical characteristics. Let us celebrate diversity in all its forms and embrace each other's uniqueness with compassion and understanding.
