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
Black Road: A Portrait of Traditional Dress and Occupation by Edward Sheriff Curtis, 1905 This photograph, titled "Black Road," was taken by renowned American anthropologist and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis, in the early 1900s. The image captures a man, identified as Black Road, with a dignified and thoughtful expression as he faces slightly right. He is dressed in traditional Sioux attire, including a headdress and clothing typical of the Dakota and Lakota tribes of the Great Plains region in North America. Black Road's headdress, made of eagle feathers and other natural materials, signifies his status as a healer or medicine man within his community. The intricately designed clothing, which includes a fringed dress and leggings, represents the rich cultural heritage of the First Nations people. The photograph is a gelatin silver print, a common technique used during the 20th century for producing high-quality images. The image is a valuable ethnographic and anthropological record, providing insight into the traditional dress, occupations, and customs of Native American tribes during a time of significant cultural change. Black Road's portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, which holds a vast archive of Curtis's work documenting the lives and traditions of Native American tribes across North America. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the role of photography in capturing and documenting history.
