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
In this photograph captured by Alan Lomax in mid-20th century North Carolina, we are transported to the Mountain Music Festival in Asheville. The image showcases two legendary fiddlers, Bill Hensley and his rival Asa Helton, engaged in a conversation that seems to transcend time itself. Seated outside against a picturesque backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains, these elderly musicians exude an air of wisdom and experience. Their weathered faces tell tales of countless hours spent perfecting their craft and competing for the coveted title of Old Time Fiddlers Champion. As they lean towards each other, their animated gestures suggest a deep camaraderie despite their fierce rivalry on stage. Perhaps they are sharing secrets passed down through generations or discussing new techniques that will elevate their performances to even greater heights. The bluegrass notes still linger in the air around them as they engage in this intimate exchange. It is evident that music flows through their veins like a lifeline connecting them to their roots and heritage. This extraordinary photograph serves as a testament to the rich musical traditions found within North Carolina's vibrant culture. Through Lomax's lens, we catch a glimpse into the world of these talented fiddlers who have dedicated their lives to preserving and celebrating Appalachian music. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable print with utmost respect for its historical significance and artistic value.
