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 powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. The subject, Fannie, stands at just 48 inches tall, yet she is burdened with responsibilities far beyond her tender age of seven. As one of 19 children, Fannie finds herself helping her sister in Elk Mills, a textile factory in Fayetteville, Tennessee. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee during his four-year documentation from 1908 to 1912, this image serves as a haunting reminder of the exploitation endured by countless children across various industries. Hine's work aimed to shed light on the working conditions these young individuals faced and advocate for their rights. In this particular scene, we witness Fannie surrounded by machinery that dwarfs her small frame. Her presence amidst such industrial chaos highlights the stark contrast between innocence and hardship. The cotton textiles industry demanded long hours and dangerous tasks from its workers – even those as young as Fannie. Through this photograph, Hine exposes not only the poverty-stricken lives these children were forced into but also calls for social reform to protect them from further exploitation. It serves as a poignant testament to a dark chapter in American history when childhood was sacrificed at the altar of profit-driven industries.
