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.

Harper's Weekly, 1867 - The First Vote - A Pivotal Moment in American History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Harper's Weekly, dated November 16th, 1867, takes us back to a significant moment during the Reconstruction era. Titled "The First Vote" it encapsulates the essence of democracy and progress in post-Civil War America. In this powerful engraving by Alfred Waud, we witness an African American man exercising his newfound voting rights. Dressed in a uniform that symbolizes his freedom and equality, he stands proudly before a ballot box on Election Day. Surrounded by other men at the polls, all eagerly awaiting their turn to cast their votes for the future president of our nation. The image captures not only the historical significance of this milestone but also represents hope and resilience amidst adversity. It serves as a testament to the democratic system's triumph over oppression and discrimination. Displayed prominently on Harper's Weekly front page, this print aimed to inspire readers across America with its message of progress and inclusivity. It reminds us that every citizen has a voice and can shape our country through their choices. As we reflect upon this remarkable piece of history captured by The Granger Collection, let it serve as a reminder of how far we have come while acknowledging there is still work ahead towards achieving true equality for all Americans.
