31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 powerful print by Dorothea Lange captures the essence of a man who has spent more than twenty-five years as a bindle-stiff, wandering from mines to lumber camps to farms in Napa Valley, California. His weathered face and worn clothing tell the story of a life lived on the road, embodying the spirit of resilience and determination that characterized those who formed the backbone of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in California before the war.
The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, when men like this were integral to America's workforce. The man's belongings bundled up in his bindle serve as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by itinerant workers during the Great Depression.
Dorothea Lange's keen eye for capturing raw emotion and human experience is evident in this photograph, which was part of Carleton Parker's "Studies on IWW." Through her lens, she sheds light on an often overlooked segment of society - those who lived hand-to-mouth existence as they traveled across country in search of work.
This image serves as a testament to both the struggles and resilience of individuals like this bindle-stiff, whose stories deserve to be remembered and honored.
