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 captures a moment frozen in time during the height of World War II. Taken in 1942 by Alfred Palmer, it showcases a group of hardworking women assembly line workers on their lunch break at the Douglas Aircraft Company factory in Long Beach, California. In this image, we see these remarkable women taking a well-deserved respite from their tireless efforts to support the war effort. They gather outside the factory building, surrounded by sandbags that serve as a reminder of the turbulent times they are living through. Clad in trousers and unidentified but determined faces, they exude strength and determination. Each woman carries her own lunchbox and thermos, symbols of self-sufficiency and resilience. These everyday objects become powerful emblems of female empowerment during an era when women were breaking barriers and proving themselves capable of any task thrown their way. The midday sun casts shadows on their faces as they enjoy this brief interlude before returning to work. Their camaraderie is palpable; united by a common purpose, these women find solace in each other's company amidst the chaos surrounding them. Alfred Palmer's skillful composition immortalizes not only these extraordinary individuals but also pays homage to all those who contributed to America's victory during WWII. This photograph serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit displayed by countless women who stepped up when their country needed them most.
