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.

MIGRANT AUTOMOBILE, 1936 - A Glimpse into the Struggles of a Migrant Worker
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in November 1936 near Bakersfield, California, offers a powerful visual representation of the hardships faced by migrant workers during the Great Depression. The image portrays an antique automobile laden with all the belongings of a migrant worker and their family. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only an old car but also symbols of poverty and resilience. The dilapidated vehicle carries crates and luggage precariously piled up on its roof and trunk. Amongst these items lies a solitary chair, perhaps representing both comfort and instability for those who must constantly move from place to place in search of work. Lange's lens captures the essence of migration during this era marked by economic turmoil. This photograph is part of her extensive documentation commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative to combat rural poverty. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder that behind every object lies a story - one filled with struggle, hope, and determination. It invites us to reflect on our collective history while shedding light on ongoing issues surrounding labor rights and socioeconomic disparities. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to preserve this significant moment in American history while honoring Dorothea Lange's remarkable ability to capture human emotion through her lens.
