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, taken in 1939 by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, we are transported back to a simpler time in rural America. The image showcases the women of the congregation of Wheeleys Church, gathered together on the steps with brooms and buckets in hand for their annual clean-up day in Gordonton, North Carolina. The scene exudes a sense of community and unity as these hardworking women come together to maintain their cherished place of worship. Their determination is palpable as they sit stoically on the steps, ready to tackle any task that lies ahead. Despite the summer heat of July enveloping them, their commitment to keeping their church pristine remains unwavering. Lange's expert composition captures not only the physical labor involved but also reveals a deeper narrative about faith and devotion. Each woman's face tells a unique story - some wear expressions of concentration while others radiate joy or solemnity. It is evident that this gathering extends beyond mere cleaning duties; it represents an opportunity for connection and spiritual fulfillment. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and heritage - one where communities relied on each other for support and worked collectively towards common goals. Through Lange's lens, we witness both strength in unity and beauty amidst simplicity. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to preserve this poignant moment forever, reminding us of our roots while inspiring future generations with its timeless message.
