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.

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.

Awake and Sing
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Clifford Odets, a powerful and thought-provoking play that explores the lives of a working-class Jewish family in the Bronx during the Great Depression, was brought to life through the Federal Theatre Project (FTP) in the 1930s. This photograph captures a production of "Awake and Sing" in Yiddish, directed by Adolph Freeman, at the Paramount Auditorium. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and to bring theater to thousands in the United States who had never before seen live theatrical performances. This was a significant cultural event during the New Deal era, as it provided an opportunity for Americans to come together and engage with the arts during a time of political and economic uncertainty. The playbill for this production, featuring bold and expressive lettering, showcases the vibrant energy and political consciousness that defined the FTP. The text is overlaid on a simple yet striking background, with the title "Awake and Sing" in large, bold letters at the top. The image of the Paramount Auditorium, with its towering marquee, adds to the sense of excitement and anticipation surrounding this theatrical event. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of the arts to bring people together and provide a space for reflection, engagement, and community during challenging times. It is a reminder of the important role that the Federal Theatre Project played in American history and the legacy of the New Deal era.
