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.

CHICAGO - HOSPITAL, 1941. A Glimpse into the Pioneering Care at Provident Hospital
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of healthcare in Chicago. Taken by Edwin Rosskam in July 1941, it showcases a doctor and patient at Provident Hospital, one of the few African American hospitals with an entirely African American staff during that era. The image transports us to the interior of this groundbreaking institution located on Chicago's South Side. In this mid-century scene, we witness a compassionate doctor attentively caring for his patient who rests comfortably on a hospital bed. The dedication and expertise displayed by these medical professionals are evident as they work together to provide quality care. Provident Hospital played an essential role in breaking down racial barriers within the healthcare system, offering much-needed services to African Americans who faced discrimination elsewhere. It served as both a symbol of hope and empowerment for Black communities across Chicago. Through this powerful snapshot frozen in time, we gain insight into the resilience and determination exhibited by African American doctors and patients alike during an era marked by segregation and inequality. This photograph serves as a tribute to their unwavering spirit while reminding us of how far we have come in our ongoing pursuit of equality within healthcare provision.
