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 print titled "CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH, 1852" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the determination and resilience of an African American miner as he prospects in Auburn ravine during the California Gold Rush. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the spirit of independence that characterized those who ventured westward seeking fortune. The year 1852 marked a pivotal period for both California and the nation as a whole. As thousands flocked to the region in search of gold, individuals from diverse backgrounds converged with hopes of striking it rich. This particular photograph sheds light on an often overlooked narrative within this historical context - that of black miners who played a vital role in shaping America's westward expansion. With his shovel and pan at hand, this unnamed prospector embodies perseverance amidst adversity. His presence challenges conventional narratives surrounding race and labor during this era, reminding us that people from all walks of life contributed to our country's development. Through careful examination, one can almost feel the anticipation emanating from this scene; every speckle of gold holds promise for a brighter future. It serves as a reminder that history is not merely confined to textbooks but rather captured through powerful images like these – snapshots forever etched into our collective memory. This Granger Art on Demand print encapsulates an important chapter in American history while honoring those whose stories have been overshadowed by time.
