23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 photo print, titled "Cigarette Manufacturing, 1883" takes us back in time to the heart of the tobacco industry. The engraving, created by C. Upham in 1883, showcases an interior scene of a bustling cigarette factory. The image provides a glimpse into the intricate process involved in manufacturing cigarettes during this era. We see a diverse workforce diligently engaged in various tasks such as cutting, stemming, sorting, and packing tobacco leaves. The machinery present highlights the advancements made in industrialization at that time. What sets this particular image apart is its emphasis on gender equality within the workplace. Notably, we witness female workers actively participating alongside their male counterparts—a testament to progressiveness even during those times. The photograph also alludes to themes of emancipation and equal rights prevalent throughout American history. It serves as a reminder that industries like these played significant roles not only economically but also socially. As we observe this snapshot from over a century ago, it sparks curiosity about how far we have come since then—both technologically and societally—in our understanding of labor practices and gender equality. This historical engraving allows us to appreciate the complexities behind cigarette production while reflecting on important societal shifts that continue to shape our world today.
