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 print showcases Langston Hughes, an influential American writer who made significant contributions to literature during the early 20th century. The image, captured in 1939 by renowned photographer Carl Van Vechten, is transformed into a stunning piece of art through the use of oil painting techniques. In this portrait, Hughes exudes confidence and intellect as he gazes directly at the viewer. His signature hat adds a touch of style and sophistication to his appearance. As an African American man living in a time marked by racial discrimination and social inequality, Hughes played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural landscape of Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance was a period characterized by artistic and intellectual achievements within the African American community. Langston Hughes emerged as one of its leading figures, using poetry and prose to express the experiences and struggles faced by black Americans. Carl Van Vechten's skillful application of oil over this photograph elevates it from mere documentation to an artistic masterpiece that captures both the essence of Langston Hughes' persona and his literary prowess. This print serves as a powerful reminder not only of Hughes' immense talent but also his enduring impact on American literature. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let us reflect on Langston Hughes' legacy - his ability to give voice to marginalized communities through words that continue to resonate with readers today.
