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 photograph, titled "NEW YORK NEWSBOY, c1901" transports us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century Manhattan. The image captures a young newsboy in a Duane Street lodging house, providing us with a glimpse into the daily life of working-class children during this era. The boy's worn cap and tattered clothing speak volumes about the hardships he faced as part of the city's workforce. Child labor was prevalent at that time, and this poignant image serves as a reminder of the challenges these young individuals endured to support themselves and their families. Taken by Jacob Riis, an American photographer known for his social reform advocacy through photography, this picture not only documents history but also sheds light on issues such as poverty and inequality in turn-of-the-century New York City. The interior setting adds depth to the narrative; we can almost feel the cramped living conditions within this lodging house. Amidst stacks of newspapers strewn across the room, our newsboy stands proudly with his bundle ready for sale. His determined expression hints at resilience despite his circumstances. This photograph is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it represents an entire era defined by commerce, daily struggles, and societal disparities. It serves as a powerful testament to both human resilience and the need for continued efforts towards social progress.
