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
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of poverty during the Great Depression in 1936. The image showcases a twelve-year-old girl, belonging to a family of eleven, residing in a one-room shelter constructed on the chassis of an abandoned Ford truck. Located in an open field along U. S. Route 70 between Camden and Bruceton, Tennessee, this makeshift home symbolizes the desperate living conditions faced by many families during that era. Dressed in a simple meal sack as her only form of clothing, the young girl stands stoically amidst her challenging circumstances. Her dirty appearance reflects the hardships she endures daily. This poignant portrait was captured by photographer Carl Mydans as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) photography project initiated under President Roosevelt's New Deal policies. The image serves as a reminder of how poverty affected even innocent children who were forced to grow up too soon due to their circumstances. It highlights both their resilience and vulnerability against a backdrop of rural America during this tumultuous time period. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it prompts us to consider our progress in addressing poverty and ensuring that every child has access to basic necessities for survival and growth.
