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.

California - Doctor, 1939. A Glimpse into Public Health during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a traveling public health doctor conducting a well-baby clinic in Calipatria, California, back in 1939. The image showcases the resilience of both the medical professional and the working-class mothers who attended this vital service. In this rural setting, surrounded by an interior that exudes simplicity and determination, we witness these migratory mothers eagerly seeking medical care for their little ones. Many of them toiled tirelessly in nearby pea fields as migrant workers. Dressed modestly yet with pride, they bring their precious bundles of joy to receive attention from this dedicated physician. The unidentified doctor can be seen wearing a stethoscope around his neck while attentively examining a baby boy cradled lovingly by his mother's arms. This snapshot not only speaks volumes about the importance of accessible healthcare during challenging times but also highlights the compassion and dedication shown by medical professionals like him. Photographed by Dorothea Lange, renowned for her powerful images depicting American life during the Great Depression era, this print serves as a poignant reminder of our collective history. It reminds us that even amidst adversity and economic hardship, individuals came together to ensure the well-being of future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured through time's lens, let us reflect on how far we have come in providing quality healthcare for all members of society while
