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 vintage print captures the lobby of the Y. M. C. A. in Gatun, Panama Canal Zone, around 1910. The image showcases a glimpse into the early years of American civilian workers' lives in this Latin American region. A group of men, dressed in white attire, can be seen gathered in conversation and relaxation within this bustling space. The lobby exudes an air of camaraderie and community as these workers find solace and entertainment amidst their demanding jobs. A phonograph sits prominently on a table, serving as a source of amusement for those seeking respite from their daily routines. Perhaps it played lively tunes or soothing melodies that transported them momentarily away from the challenges they faced while constructing one of the greatest engineering marvels - the Panama Canal. A speaker stands at attention near the phonograph, suggesting that important announcements or speeches were delivered to keep everyone informed about various aspects related to their work or social activities within this vibrant establishment. As we delve into this photograph taken at the turn of the century, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also how vital institutions like YMCA provided support and recreation for American citizens working far away from home during challenging times abroad.
