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 coloured engraving captures a significant moment in history - Chinese Immigrants working on the gold fields during the California Gold Rush of 1849. The image showcases the arduous labor undertaken by these brave individuals who migrated to North America in search of fortune and opportunity. In this scene, we see a group of determined Asian workers toiling away amidst rugged hills and mountains. Armed with pickaxes and various tools, they display unwavering grit as they dig deep into the earth in pursuit of precious gold. Their faces reveal both determination and exhaustion, reflecting their tireless efforts. The engraving also sheds light on the exploitation faced by these immigrant workers during this period. Referred to as "coolies" at times, they endured harsh conditions while contributing significantly to America's booming mining industry. Despite facing discrimination and prejudice, these resilient men persevered through backbreaking work day after day. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the struggles and triumphs experienced by Chinese immigrants during one of America's most transformative eras. It serves as a poignant reminder of their invaluable contributions that helped shape not only California but also the nation itself. This print from Fine Art Finder is an important historical artifact that allows us to reflect upon our past while honoring those who played an integral role in shaping it.
