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
Kentucky: Refugees, 1937. A powerful snapshot of resilience and compassion amidst the devastating floods that ravaged Mayfield, Kentucky. In this poignant image captured by renowned photographer Walker Evans in February 1937, we witness flood refugees seeking solace within the walls of a canning factory repurposed as a relief station by the Red Cross. The photograph transports us to an early morning scene where women, their faces etched with weariness and determination, find temporary respite on simple beds arranged inside the factory. The hauntingly beautiful composition reveals both the harsh realities of poverty during the Great Depression and the unwavering spirit of those affected. Evans' lens captures not only their physical struggle but also their strength as they navigate through uncertain times. These unidentified women embody hope in adversity, reminding us of our shared humanity and capacity for empathy. This evocative image serves as a testament to the tireless efforts made by organizations like the Red Cross to provide aid and support to communities devastated by natural disasters. It stands as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there are always individuals willing to extend a helping hand. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, let it serve as inspiration for us all to continue fostering compassion and solidarity towards those facing hardship today.
