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 powerful photograph captured by Walker Evans in February 1937 depicts a poignant scene during the Great Flood of 1937 in Forrest City, Arkansas. The image showcases African American flood refugees patiently waiting in line at mealtime outside a temporary infirmary operated by the Red Cross. The devastating flood had left these individuals homeless and vulnerable, seeking refuge and sustenance from charitable organizations. The composition of the photo is striking; it portrays a group of men and women wearing worn-out coats and denim overalls, their tired faces reflecting the hardships they have endured. Their feet are covered with mud-stained shoes, symbolizing their struggle to navigate through this disaster-ridden landscape. Evans' lens captures not only their physical appearances but also conveys their resilience amidst adversity. Each person carries an empty pail, signifying both hope for nourishment as well as dependence on relief efforts for survival. This photograph serves as a reminder of the profound impact that natural disasters can have on marginalized communities during times of economic hardship such as the Great Depression. It also highlights the vital role played by organizations like the Red Cross in providing aid to those most affected. Decades later, this image continues to evoke empathy and understanding towards those who face displacement due to environmental catastrophes or other crises.
