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
This photograph, titled "RIIS: IMMIGRANT GIRL, 1892. I Scrubs" takes us back to the bustling streets of late 19th century America. The image showcases Little Katie, a young girl who bravely keeps house in the heart of West 49th Street while attending the West 52nd Street Industrial School. Jacob Riis, an acclaimed photographer known for his documentation of urban poverty and immigrant life, captured this poignant portrait in 1892. Little Katie stands proudly on the street corner, her eyes filled with determination and resilience despite her tender age. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by immigrants during this time period. Katie's worn dress reflects both her limited means and the fashion trends of that era. Standing amidst dilapidated tenements and surrounded by a cityscape teeming with activity, she symbolizes hope amidst adversity. Located in downtown North America's Lower East Side neighborhood, this snapshot encapsulates the struggles endured by countless individuals seeking a better life in an unfamiliar land. It serves as a reminder of their strength and perseverance against overwhelming odds. As we observe this turn-of-the-century scene frozen in time through Riis' lens, we are transported to an era where poverty coexisted with progress. This powerful image invites us to reflect upon our own history while acknowledging those who paved the way for future generations.
