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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the Pullman Strike of 1894. The image showcases the aftermath of chaos and destruction that unfolded on the evening of July 6th, as rioting workers set fire to six hundred freight cars at the Panhandle yards in Chicago. The scene is one of utter mayhem, with billowing smoke engulfing the night sky and flames devouring the wooden boxcars. In this late-night illustration from a contemporary American newspaper, we witness the raw power of collective action by disgruntled workers against their oppressive working conditions. Amidst this scene of turmoil, brave firefighters can be seen desperately trying to extinguish the raging inferno using hoses. Yet their efforts seem futile against such overwhelming destruction. A mob of protesters stands nearby, representing a united front from Chicago's working class who had reached their breaking point. This image serves as a stark reminder of both worker solidarity and corporate oppression during turn-of-the-century America. It encapsulates not only the physical destruction caused by these events but also symbolizes an era marked by social unrest and inequality. As we reflect on this historical moment captured within this photograph, it becomes evident that its significance extends far beyond mere documentation. It represents a struggle for justice and fair treatment that resonates even today.
