23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 in April 1941, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Chicago's South Side. The image showcases an African American woman diligently painting a fence surrounding a charming outdoor garden. Her focused expression and poised stance reflect her dedication to beautifying her neighborhood. The scene captures the essence of daily life during that era, providing a glimpse into the struggles faced by marginalized communities. The woman's presence symbolizes resilience and determination as she takes on the task at hand with grace. The backdrop of the cityscape adds depth to the composition, reminding us of the urban setting where this snapshot was taken. The contrast between poverty-stricken neighborhoods and pockets of greenery highlights both the challenges faced by residents living in Chicago's "Black Belt" area and their commitment to creating beauty amidst adversity. Photographed by Edwin Rosskam for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this powerful image serves as a testament to his ability to capture raw emotions through his lens. It stands as a reminder of our shared history, urging us to reflect upon progress made while acknowledging ongoing struggles for equality.
