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 poignant photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee, it depicts the Factory of Lowden Canning Company in Bluffton, South Carolina. In this image, a seven-year-old girl can be seen diligently shucking three pots of oysters each day alongside her six-year-old brother. Accompanying them is an eleven-year-old boy who manages to handle six pots. Hine's powerful lens exposes the exploitation and grueling conditions these young children endured during this era. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the widespread poverty that plagued industrial communities at that time. The presence of these innocent faces amidst such arduous work evokes both sympathy and outrage. Their small frames are burdened with responsibilities far beyond their tender years, highlighting the urgent need for reform in child labor laws. Beyond its historical significance, this image also showcases Hine's exceptional ability to capture raw emotions through his lens. It stands as a testament to his dedication in shedding light on social injustices prevalent within American society. As we reflect upon this haunting snapshot from our past, let us remember those who fought tirelessly for change and continue to advocate for fair treatment and protection of children around the world today.
