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
This photograph captures a group of hardworking men from the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) as they toil away in Prince Georges County, Maryland. Taken by renowned photographer Carl Mydans in August 1935, this image is a poignant reminder of the early days of the New Deal era. In the midst of the Great Depression, these CCC workers embody resilience and determination as they engage in construction work under cloudy skies. Each man can be seen wielding a pick ax with precision and strength, showcasing their dedication to improving their surroundings despite challenging circumstances. The collaboration and cooperation among these workers are evident in their synchronized movements. They represent not only skilled laborers but also symbols of hope for an America striving to recover from economic turmoil. This photograph serves as a testament to the transformative power of government initiatives like the CCC that provided employment opportunities for millions during one of our nation's darkest times. Maryland's Prince Georges County provides a picturesque backdrop for this snapshot into history. The lush greenery surrounding these industrious men highlights both nature's beauty and its potential for restoration through human effort. Carl Mydans' masterful composition immortalizes this moment, capturing not just physical labor but also an unwavering spirit that defined an entire generation. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a powerful reminder of how unity and hard work can overcome even the most daunting challenges life throws our way.
