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.

EVANS - NEW YORK, 1938. A Glimpse into the Past of Manhattan's Tenement Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Walker Evans takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City in 1938. The image captures a billboard adorning the tenement buildings on 61st Street, between 1st and 3rd Avenues. Standing tall against the backdrop of worn-out brick facades, this advertisement offers a fascinating glimpse into early American consumer culture. The billboard prominently features an advertisement for Camel cigarettes, symbolizing an era when smoking was not only socially acceptable but also glamorized. Its presence amidst the humble tenements serves as a stark reminder of how advertising permeates even the most modest corners of our lives. Evans' keen eye for detail allows us to observe every aspect of this street scene – from the worn-out exteriors of these tenement buildings to the busy pedestrians passing by. This photograph is part of Evans' iconic series documenting everyday life during his time working with Roy Stryker's Farm Security Administration (FSA). As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to a different era - one where New York City was still evolving and shaping its identity as a global metropolis. It reminds us that beneath all its glamour and grandeur lies a history rooted in ordinary people living their lives amidst towering billboards and crowded streets.
