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 photograph captures the spirit of the Class of '29 from Des Moines, Iowa, in 1937, as they proudly pose for their graduation portrait. The occasion was made even more special by the unique and intriguing playbill that accompanied their big day. The play, titled "Class of '29," was produced by Orrie Lashin and Milo Hastings as part of the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The Federal Theatre Project was designed 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 groundbreaking project brought a new wave of cultural excitement to the country during the Great Depression. The poster for "Class of '29" proudly declares, "It Dares to Tell the Truth," and promises an entertaining and thought-provoking show. The students, dressed in their graduation finery, wear mortarboards adorned with tassels and caps, adding to the festive atmosphere. The poster's graphic design features bold lettering and a striking color palette, reflecting the artistic flair of the time. The image is a testament to the power of the arts to bring people together and create memorable experiences, even during challenging times. The Class of '29 graduation, with its unique playbill, serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that the Federal Theatre Project left behind.
