23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 features the renowned Jamaican writer and poet, Claude McKay. Taken by a French photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases McKay's commanding presence as he stands tall, exuding confidence and intellect. The photograph is part of a private collection and captures an important moment in literary history. McKay (1889-1948) was a trailblazer in the Harlem Renaissance movement, known for his powerful poetry that explored themes of race, identity, and social justice. This particular image comes from Sisley Huddleston's book "Back to Montparnasse" published in 1931. It offers a glimpse into McKay's time spent in Paris during this period. In the photo, McKay can be seen next to a notice board, perhaps contemplating his next literary masterpiece or engaging with fellow writers and artists who frequented Montparnasse at that time. His stance reflects determination and resilience as he navigated both personal struggles and societal challenges. This remarkable portrait not only pays homage to Claude McKay but also serves as a visual testament to his significant contributions to literature. As we admire this historic snapshot captured by Ken Welsh from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the lasting impact of great minds like McKay on our cultural landscape.
