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
This lithograph, titled "The Spanish-American War, distributing Food to the Starving Poor at Santa Cristina, Madrid" captures a poignant moment in history. Created by Frank Craig in 1898 for The Graphic magazine, this illustration offers a glimpse into the dire circumstances faced by the impoverished during this tumultuous period. In the heart of Madrid's Santa Cristina neighborhood, detachments of volunteers and guards gather around long tables laden with food supplies. On this occasion, free distributions are taking place to alleviate hunger and poverty that has plagued Spain amidst the Spanish-American War. The scene is bustling with activity as people from all walks of life eagerly await their turn to receive parcels filled with essential provisions. Amidst hungry crowds clamoring for sustenance, one can see motley groups comprising men and women riding on little carts or carrying baskets. Their faces tell stories of desperation and hopelessness while they anxiously wait for their share of beans, pork, bread rolls, and potatoes - even small contributions make a significant difference in these trying times. Despite limited resources and civil unrest gripping Europe at large during this era, acts of charity like these demonstrate humanity's resilience and compassion. This engraving serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict and scarcity; there are individuals willing to extend a helping hand to those most vulnerable within society. "The Spanish-American War: Distributing Food to the Starving Poor at Santa Cristina" encapsulates both the hardships endured by many during this war-torn period while also highlighting moments where unity prevails over adversity.
