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
In this photograph taken by Ben Shahn in August 1938, we are transported back to Columbus, Ohio. The image showcases a man standing at the entrance of a bustling lunchroom, capturing an essence of daily life during that era. The man exudes a sense of confidence as he stands tall in his well-tailored suit. His presence adds an air of importance to the scene, suggesting that this lunchroom holds significance within the community. Behind him, through the large glass window adorned with a sign advertising food, we catch glimpses of people inside enjoying their meals. The exterior of the lunchroom reflects its early 20th-century origins with its classic architecture and ornate details. It serves as a reminder of how businesses were established during that time period and their role in providing sustenance for local residents. Ben Shahn's keen eye captures not only the physical elements but also tells us about American society at large during this period. This photograph was taken under the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which aimed to document rural poverty and promote government programs supporting farmers affected by economic depression. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into history - it encapsulates both everyday life in Columbus and highlights societal efforts to address economic challenges faced by Americans during that time.
