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.

HINE - BOOTBLACK, 1924. A Glimpse into the World of Child Labor in New York City
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history - the life of a 12-year-old bootblack shining shoes in Bowling Green, New York City. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in 1924, this image offers a glimpse into the harsh reality faced by working-class children during that era. In sepia tones, we see the young bootblack diligently kneeling on the pavement with his hat placed beside him. His small hands are skillfully polishing a customer's shoe while he focuses intently on his task. The worn-out exterior of nearby buildings serves as a backdrop to this scene from an early North American park. Hine's photography was instrumental in exposing child labor practices and advocating for social reform. Through his lens, he shed light on the hardships endured by these young workers and sparked public awareness about their plight. As we reflect upon this powerful image today, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come in protecting the rights and well-being of children. It also prompts us to remain vigilant against any form of exploitation that may still exist within our communities. This print is part of Granger Art on Demand collection and stands as both an artistic piece capturing historical truth and an important testament to human progress over time.
