17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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
This poignant photograph captures the harsh reality of poverty during the Great Depression in 1935. The image showcases two young children, a boy and a girl, living in the slum section of Georgetown, Washington D. C. Their barefoot feet and disheveled appearance speak volumes about their impoverished circumstances. Photographed by Carl Mydans in November 1935 as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by lower-class families during this tumultuous time in American history. The children's dirty clothes and somber expressions reflect the daily hardships they endured. The composition focuses on their seated position against a backdrop that remains unidentified. This lack of identification further emphasizes how countless families across America were affected by poverty during this era. Mydans' photograph is not only an artistic portrayal but also serves as documentation for historical purposes. It sheds light on the impact of government initiatives like Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies aimed at alleviating economic distress. As we look back at this snapshot from nearly a century ago, it reminds us to appreciate our progress while acknowledging that there are still many who face similar challenges today.
