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.

NEW ORLEANS - STREET - A Glimpse into the Vibrant Black Community of 1940s New Orleans
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by John Vachon in March 1943, offers a poignant snapshot of life on a street in the black section of New Orleans, Louisiana. The image showcases a bustling neighborhood teeming with energy and resilience. In this mid-century scene, we see children playing joyfully on the sidewalk while an African American family strolls past them. Dilapidated yet charming houses line both sides of the street, their worn exteriors telling stories of struggle and perseverance. A pushcart vendor navigates through the crowd, offering goods to those passing by. The telephone lines crisscrossing above serve as a reminder that even amidst hardship, communication remains vital for community connection. An automobile parked nearby symbolizes aspirations and mobility within these challenging circumstances. Vachon's lens captures not just poverty but also strength and unity within this Southeastern neighborhood. This photograph is part of the iconic Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection documenting America during the Great Depression era. As we gaze upon this historical print from Granger Art on Demand, let us remember that it represents more than just an image frozen in time; it encapsulates an entire journey towards progress and social change brought about by initiatives like President Roosevelt's New Deal.
