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 the resilience and determination of Cloe Weaver, a mother of four children, during the height of World War II in 1943. Taken by renowned photographer Jack Delano, this image showcases Cloe's employment as a helper at the roundhouse in Clinton, Iowa for the Chicago and Northwestern Railway. In her blue collar attire consisting of bib overalls and a headscarf, Cloe stands confidently beside the turntable she is learning to operate. Her husband works for a structural steel company, highlighting their shared commitment to supporting their family amidst challenging times. The photo not only reflects an era when women were entering traditionally male-dominated roles but also symbolizes the strength and resourcefulness displayed by countless American families during wartime. It serves as a testament to both individual determination and collective sacrifice. Preserved within the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this image offers us a glimpse into history - capturing not just one woman's journey but also representing thousands who contributed to America's war effort on various fronts. As we admire this powerful photograph by Jack Delano, let us remember those unsung heroes like Cloe Weaver who played vital roles in shaping our nation's history through their unwavering dedication and resolve.
