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 photograph, titled "Streetside Games, 1938" captures a slice of daily life in New York City during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Walker Evans as part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image transports us back to a time when simple pleasures were cherished amidst economic hardship. In this bustling street scene, we see children and adults engrossed in various games played on the sidewalk. A group of boys huddle together, their faces filled with excitement as they engage in an unknown game. Nearby, a young girl concentrates intently on her own activity, while women observe from behind a window. The composition is strikingly candid and evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. The worn-out buildings in the background serve as reminders of the challenges faced by those living through the Great Depression. Yet within these difficult circumstances, there is still room for joy and playfulness. Evans' masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, highlighting both individual expressions and collective interactions. Through his lens, he captures not only moments frozen in time but also emotions that transcend generations. "Streetside Games" serves as a powerful reminder that even during times of adversity, human resilience shines through in unexpected ways – reminding us all to find solace in small moments of happiness amidst challenging circumstances.
