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 print showcases the iconic "Cigar Store Indian" created by Elmer R. Kottcamp in 1939. The image, captured in vibrant color and detail, transports us back to a time when these wooden figures were a common sight outside tobacco shops across America. With its intricate design and rich cultural symbolism, this artwork represents an important aspect of American history. Kottcamp's creation beautifully captures the fusion of Native American heritage and the tobacco industry that was prevalent during the early 20th century. Crafted with graphite, watercolor, and pen and ink on paper, this piece is a testament to Kottcamp's artistic talent and his ability to bring life to wood through his art. The Cigar Store Indian stands tall on its plinth, exuding strength and pride as it advertises cigars to passersby. It serves as a reminder of both indigenous people's contributions to American culture and their exploitation for commercial purposes. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artifact from the Index of American Design holds immense historical significance. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our country's complex past while appreciating Kottcamp's skillful craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print today, we are reminded not only of America's diverse cultural tapestry but also how art can serve as a powerful medium for preserving history for future generations.
