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, captured by John C.H. Grabill in 1891, offers a glimpse into the meeting of two distinct worlds at the US School for Indians at Pine Ridge, South Dakota. The image shows a small Oglala tipi camp nestled in front of imposing government school buildings, set against the expansive open field of the Great Plains. The contrast between the traditional teepees and the modern schoolhouses symbolizes the ongoing efforts to assimilate Native American children into European-American society during the late 19th century. The photograph was taken during a pivotal moment in American history, as the frontier was closing, and the Plains Indians were being forced to adapt to new ways of life following the end of the Indian Wars. The Lakota, Teton Sioux, and other Plains tribes were being relocated to reservations, and their children were being sent to government-run schools to learn English, agriculture, and European customs. The image also reveals the simple yet stark beauty of life on the reservation. The cart and road transport in the background hint at the challenges of daily life, while the open field and clear sky evoke the vastness and ruggedness of the American West. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage and resilience of the Native American people, who continue to preserve their traditions and culture despite the challenges of the past and the ongoing process of reconciliation and healing. This photograph is an invaluable historical document, capturing a moment in time that is both significant and evocative. It is a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture the essence of a place and the people who inhabit it, and to preserve the stories and memories of the past for future generations.
