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
The photo captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the harsh reality faced by children during the early 20th century. In this image titled "Maud and Grade Daly" two young girls aged 5 and 3 are depicted picking shrimp for the Peerless Oyster Company in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, back in 1911. Photographer Lewis Wickes Hine was known for his investigative work on child labor conditions, shedding light on the exploitation of youngsters across various industries. This particular photograph is part of his extensive documentation from 1908 to 1912. The innocence of Maud and Grade's youthful faces contrasts starkly with their grueling daily task. Forced into labor at such tender ages, they represent countless other children who endured similar hardships during that era. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the industrial poverty prevalent at the time while also highlighting efforts towards reforming child labor practices. The canning industry relied heavily on cheap labor like Maud and Grade's to meet demands for seafood products such as oysters. Today, we look upon this historical print with both admiration for those who fought against such injustices and gratitude for progress made since then. It stands as a testament to our collective responsibility to protect vulnerable members of society from exploitation—a duty that should never be forgotten or neglected.
