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.

The image depicts Alonzo Bankston, an African American furnace operator at a Tennessee Valley Authority chemical plant near Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Bankston's stoic expression reveals the determination and strength that characterized the working class during this era. Dressed in his rugged overalls and donning protective goggles and a hat, he stands proudly amidst the industrial backdrop of the factory interior. The photographer skillfully captures both the physicality of Bankston's labor as well as his inner resolve. His presence is a testament to the countless unsung heroes who played vital roles in shaping America's industrial landscape. This powerful portrait serves as a reminder of not only Bankston's personal story but also represents the broader struggles faced by African Americans during this time period. It symbolizes their fight for equality and recognition within society while highlighting their invaluable contributions to building our nation.
