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.

Personal Appearance 3, Peekskill, NY, [1930s]: A Vintage Playbill from the Federal Theatre Project This intriguing playbill, titled "Personal Appearance 3," dates back to the 1930s in Peekskill, New York. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), is responsible for its creation. Established in 1935, this project aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. The playbill showcases an eclectic mix of comedy and drama, with performances ranging from "The Hasty Heart" by John Boynton Priestley to "The Front Page" by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. Lawrence Riley, a notable figure in the Federal Theatre Project, is listed as the producer for this event. The playbill's design is a testament to the era's artistic sensibilities. The bold, capitalized lettering and Western script evoke a sense of excitement and anticipation, while the political undertones of the WPA's New Deal initiatives are subtly conveyed through the use of the lawrence riley signature and the WPA logo. This vintage playbill serves as a reminder of the emergence and emergence of the performing arts during the 1930s in the United States. It is a valuable piece of American heritage art, showcasing the rich history and cultural significance of the Federal Theatre Project and its efforts to bring the power of live theater to the masses.
