23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Migrant Children, 1939: A Glimpse into the Lives of Resilient Souls". This poignant photograph captures a moment frozen in time during one of America's darkest periods - the Great Depression. In June 1939, Russell Lee, a photographer for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), documented the harsh reality faced by migrant children in Vian, Oklahoma. The image portrays a group of young boys and girls sitting on an old wooden bench in front of a small store. These innocent faces belong to children whose parents were agricultural day laborers struggling to make ends meet amidst the Dust Bowl crisis. Their clothing is worn-out and tattered, reflecting their impoverished circumstances. With bare feet grounded on dusty soil, these resilient souls display both vulnerability and strength as they confront life's hardships head-on. The boy's overalls hang loosely from his thin frame while his sister sits beside him with her naked feet resting on the ground. In this snapshot of history, we witness not only the physical toll that poverty has taken on these youngsters but also their unwavering spirit to persevere through adversity. They represent countless other migrant families who sought solace during those trying times. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, let us remember these brave children who endured unimaginable challenges during an era marked by economic turmoil. May their story serve as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, hope can still be found within each other's hearts.
