31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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.

ALABAMA - LABORATORY, 1942. Paul Imes, Samuel Watkins, and George Richardson - Pioneering African American Laboratory Technicians at Muscle Shoals
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a significant moment in history during the summer of 1942. In the heart of Alabama's Tennessee Valley Authority chemical plant near Muscle Shoals, three remarkable men stand proudly in their laboratory. Meet Paul Imes, Samuel Watkins, and George Richardson – trailblazing African American technicians who played an instrumental role in advancing scientific research. Their dedication to their craft is evident as they are captured engrossed in their work amidst shelves filled with chemicals and equipment. The photo by Alfred Palmer immortalizes these unsung heroes who defied societal barriers to pursue careers that were often denied to people of color during this era. The Tennessee Valley Authority was known for its ground-breaking contributions to industrial development and energy production. However, it is the faces of these skilled individuals that truly bring life to this image; reminding us that progress knows no boundaries when talent meets opportunity. Through this powerful snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only the significance of their individual achievements but also the collective impact they had on breaking down racial barriers within the scientific community. Their legacy continues to inspire generations today as we recognize them as pioneers who paved the way for future advancements in chemistry and beyond.
