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 evocative photograph, titled "Cotton Picker, San Joaquin Valley, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936. The image is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by agricultural workers during the Great Depression in the United States. The photograph depicts a female cotton picker, her back bent and weary, as she toils in the sun-scorched fields of the San Joaquin Valley in California. She wears a simple denim dress and a sunbonnet, her hands calloused from long hours of labor. A cotton sack lies at her feet, ready to be filled with the day's harvest. The scene is one of quiet determination and resilience, as the woman focuses intently on the task at hand. The surrounding landscape is barren and arid, with cotton bolls stretching out as far as the eye can see. The image is a powerful testament to the hard work and dedication required to bring food and fiber to the tables of America during a time of economic hardship. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural areas affected by the Great Depression. Lange's work for the FSA helped to bring national attention to the plight of America's rural population and is considered a seminal contribution to the documentary photography genre. This image is a powerful reminder of the importance of agricultural labor and the sacrifices made by those who work the land to provide for the rest of us. It is a testament to the human spirit and the enduring power of perseverance in the face of adversity.
