31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
This black and white screen print from 1942 showcases a quintessential image of a 1940s housewife proudly holding up a jar of canned lima beans. The vintage illustration, created by the American School in the 20th century, exudes nostalgia and offers a glimpse into the daily life of an American homemaker during World War II. The photograph captures the essence of this era as it portrays a woman dressed in retro attire with her hair neatly styled and adorned with a bow. With shelves filled with glass jars and canned goods serving as her backdrop, she stands confidently, showcasing her contribution to wartime rationing efforts. Her gaze is fixed on the camera, conveying determination and resilience amidst challenging times. This image not only represents domesticity but also symbolizes resourcefulness and self-sufficiency during an era when women played crucial roles on both home fronts. The composition highlights the significance of canning as part of grocery shopping routines back then. It serves as a reminder that every jar held sustenance for families while ensuring food preservation throughout uncertain times. As we look at this timeless piece, we are transported to an era where homemakers were armed not only with their weapons of love but also their skills in providing for their loved ones. This screen print beautifully encapsulates the spirit of strength and ingenuity that defined these remarkable women who shaped history through their everyday acts.
