31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "FREIGHT TRAIN, 1943" takes us back to a snowy March day in 1943 along the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. The image captures the hustle and bustle of crew changes and cabooses on a westbound freight train between Chicago and Chillicothe, Illinois. Photographed by Jack Delano during his time with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this snapshot beautifully encapsulates the essence of mid-century American transportation. Against a backdrop of cold winter weather, we see men bundled up in heavy coats working diligently amidst the steam power that propels these massive locomotives forward. The details are striking - from the intricate design of the freight cars to the sturdy presence of each worker. This photo is not just about trains; it tells a story about hard work, resilience, and progress during an era defined by both economic hardship and hope for brighter days ahead. As we gaze at this frozen moment in time captured by Delano's lens, we can't help but appreciate how far we've come since then. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich history built upon innovation and determination. So let us honor those who paved the way for modern transportation systems while acknowledging that there is still much more ground to cover on our journey towards progress.
