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 taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases a unique aspect of life during the Great Depression. The image captures a sign that reads, ""Pit and tools for rent--work on your own", U. S. 99, Fresno County, California". This simple yet powerful sign represents the resilience and resourcefulness of individuals during this challenging time. The photo depicts an exterior view of a garage made from corrugated iron, standing as a symbol of hope amidst economic hardship. The presence of the sign suggests that people were seeking opportunities to work independently and make ends meet. It highlights their determination to overcome adversity by offering rental services for pits and tools. Dorothea Lange's composition effectively conveys the stark reality faced by many Americans during the Great Depression. The use of black and white emphasizes the somber mood while capturing every detail with striking clarity. As we gaze at this historic image, we are transported back to an era marked by economic recession and widespread unemployment. Yet within these challenges lies an inspiring message: even in times of despair, individuals found ways to support themselves through ingenuity and hard work. Lange's photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of our nation's past struggles but also of its enduring spirit. It is a testament to human resilience in the face of adversity – a timeless lesson captured within one still image from America's history.
