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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a significant moment in Puerto Rico's history. Taken in 1938, the image showcases a doctor conducting an examination on a patient for hookworm at a health center in San Juan. The Puerto Rico Resettlement Administration played a crucial role in providing medical care to the local population during this time. The composition of the photo highlights the seriousness of the situation as it focuses on the doctor closely examining the patient's stomach. The intensity and concentration on both their faces reveal the importance of this medical procedure. It is evident that public health was a top priority, especially considering hookworm infestations were prevalent at that time. Photographer Edwin Rosskam beautifully captures this intimate scene within an interior setting, emphasizing its authenticity and significance. The details captured by Rosskam allow viewers to witness firsthand how early medical examinations were conducted with limited resources but unwavering dedication. This photograph serves as a reminder of Puerto Rico's resilience and determination to provide essential healthcare services even during challenging times. It stands as a testament to both the progress made in public health initiatives and also highlights ongoing issues faced by communities worldwide when it comes to infectious diseases such as hookworms. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical print, allowing us to reflect upon our past while appreciating advancements made in healthcare today.
