31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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.

SEGREGATED FOUNTAIN, 1943 - A Haunting Reminder of America's Dark Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful photograph captures a chilling moment in American history - a whites-only drinking fountain at the Bethlehem-Fairfield shipyards in Baltimore, Maryland. Taken by Arthur Siegel in 1943, this image serves as a stark reminder of the deeply entrenched segregation that plagued our nation during the mid-20th century. The scene is both haunting and disturbing. The exterior of the building showcases a small window with text boldly proclaiming "Whites Only" reinforcing the racial divide that was enforced through Jim Crow laws. This sign represents not only physical separation but also psychological and emotional barriers between races. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an era when discrimination was openly practiced and accepted. It reminds us of the struggles faced by African Americans who were denied basic human rights solely based on their skin color. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it serves as a poignant symbol of how far we have come as a society while also reminding us that there is still work to be done to achieve true equality for all. Let it stand as a testament to our collective commitment to justice and inclusivity – ensuring that such painful chapters remain confined to history books rather than being relived in our present or future.
