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
This photograph, titled "HINE: FLOWER FACTORY, 1917" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image captures a poignant moment at the Boston Floral Supply Company in Massachusetts. In this bustling flower factory, we see a determined 15-year-old boy diligently sorting cycas leaves. The sepia-toned portrait by Lewis Wickes Hine showcases the stark reality of child labor during that era. It serves as a powerful reminder of the working class struggles faced by young individuals like this teenager from North America's industrial heartland. Despite his tender age, this boy is already immersed in the world of work, contributing to his family's income and perhaps sacrificing his education or leisure time. His serious expression reflects both concentration and responsibility beyond his years. Through Hine's lens, we witness not only an individual but also a snapshot of history—a testament to the challenges faced by countless children who were forced into labor at such an early age. As we gaze upon this evocative print from Granger Art on Demand, let it serve as a reminder of how far society has come in protecting the rights and well-being of our youth. May it inspire us to continue striving for progress and ensuring that every child has access to education, opportunity, and above all else—the chance for childhood itself.
