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.

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
The print captures Clarence Lexow, an influential American lawyer and legislator, during a pivotal moment in his career. In the late 19th century, Lexow led a state legislative committee that embarked on a relentless investigation into corruption within the New York police department. The cartoon-like image portrays Lexow peering through a magnifying glass, symbolizing his meticulous scrutiny of the political landscape. At this time, New York City was plagued by rampant corruption and criminal activity linked to Tammany Hall, a powerful political machine notorious for its control over local government. Lexow's committee aimed to expose these illicit practices and bring about much-needed reform. The artist behind this piece is W. A. Rogers, who skillfully depicts Lexow as he delves deep into the heart of darkness surrounding him. The cartoonish elements add both humor and irony to the scene while highlighting the severity of the situation. This photograph serves as a reminder of an era when individuals like Clarence Lexow fought tirelessly against political malfeasance in order to restore integrity to public institutions. It stands as a testament to their unwavering dedication and determination in seeking justice for all citizens affected by corruption at the turn of the century.
