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
In this photograph taken by Gordon Parks in April 1943, we are transported back to the vibrant world of New York City during World War II. The image captures a sailor and his girlfriend dancing the Jitterbug at the Hurricane dancehall, a popular hotspot for entertainment and nightlife. The couple is immersed in their own carefree world as they effortlessly glide across the dance floor. The sailor, dressed sharply in his uniform, holds his partner close while she twirls gracefully in her elegant dress. Their expressions radiate joy and happiness, providing a glimpse into an evening filled with laughter and love amidst the chaos of war. Parks masterfully captures this intimate moment against a backdrop of other dancers moving energetically around them. The dimly lit interior adds to the ambiance of the scene, creating an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and timeless. This photograph not only showcases the talent of Gordon Parks but also serves as a reminder of how people sought solace from daily hardships through music and dance during challenging times. It offers us a window into an era where individuals found moments of respite from their duties on the home front or overseas. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are reminded that even amidst turmoil, there were pockets of joy waiting to be discovered - like two souls finding solace in each other's arms on a crowded dance floor.
