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 captures a poignant moment in the life of an Arkansas sharecropper during the Great Depression. In this image, taken by renowned photographer Ben Shahn in October 1935, we see a hardworking man washing his hands in a small water basin against the backdrop of the rugged Ozark Mountains. The weariness etched on his face tells a story of struggle and resilience as he goes about his daily routine. Dressed in denim overalls, he represents the working class that bore the brunt of economic hardship during this tumultuous era. Shahn's lens transports us to a time when poverty was rampant and opportunities were scarce. The starkness of this image serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by many Americans at that time. As part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program, which aimed to alleviate poverty and stimulate economic recovery, Shahn captured images for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). These photographs documented rural life across America, shedding light on both its hardships and triumphs. In this particular photograph, Shahn skillfully portrays not only physical labor but also dignity amidst adversity. It is through such images that we gain insight into our shared history and are reminded to appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging those who persevered through difficult times.
