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 print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the housing provided for approximately 50 employees of Maggioni Canning Co. in Port Royal, South Carolina, back in 1912. The image portrays a scene surrounded by marshland and situated on an old shell pile, highlighting the challenging living conditions these workers endured. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee during his documentation from 1908 to 1912, this photograph sheds light on the exploitation and harsh working conditions faced by children across various industries at that time. In this particular image, we see a cluster of wooden huts or shacks where these employees resided. The dilapidated structures stand as a testament to poverty and limited resources available to them. It is evident that these humble dwellings were far from ideal living spaces. While not mentioning the company itself or any commercial use associated with it, this powerful photograph serves as a reminder of the need for reform within industrial sectors during that era. It also offers insight into the canning industry specifically while emphasizing its connection to seafood such as oysters. Preserved within a private collection today but out of copyright due to its age, this historic snapshot continues to resonate with viewers around the world who recognize its significance in documenting social injustices and advocating for change.
