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
CHICAGO: BARBER SHOP, 1941. Step into the vibrant streets of Chicago's Black Belt section in April 1941 with this photograph by Edwin Rosskam. The image captures a bustling barbershop, an essential hub of community life during that era. The scene showcases the exterior of a mid-century barber shop, its storefront adorned with signs and advertisements that reflect the spirit of the time. A dapper African American man stands at the doorway, inviting passersby to experience his skilled craftsmanship within. The open door reveals glimpses of vintage barber chairs and mirrors awaiting eager customers seeking a fresh haircut or shave. Rosskam's lens beautifully encapsulates not only the physical space but also the cultural significance of this establishment. In an era marked by racial segregation and discrimination, black-owned businesses like this barbershop provided economic opportunities for African Americans while fostering a sense of unity within their communities. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Chicago's rich history and resilience amidst adversity. It invites us to reflect on how these small local businesses played an integral role in shaping social dynamics and empowering marginalized communities. Preserved through time, this print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to step back into 1940s Chicago and witness firsthand both its challenges and triumphs.
