23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 captures the spirit of a crowded street in an unnamed city during a historical labor strike in 1904. The image portrays a sea of determined faces, each individual a part of a larger social movement. The air is thick with tension and anticipation, as the crowd, united in their cause, prepares to make their voices heard. The slightest excuse had been enough to ignite the fire of discontent among the workers, leading them to take to the streets in protest. This was not an uncommon occurrence in the early 20th century, as labor disputes and social unrest were becoming increasingly frequent. The working class, tired of long hours, low wages, and poor working conditions, were no longer willing to accept their fate quietly. The photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, when the power of collective action began to shift the balance of power between labor and capital. It serves as a reminder of the importance of solidarity and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The image also highlights the raw emotion and energy of a crowd in motion, with each person contributing to the larger whole. The diverse group, made up of men, women, and children, is a testament to the universality of the human experience and the power of unity in the pursuit of a common goal. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the past, and a reminder of the ongoing importance of social justice and labor rights in the present day. It invites us to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who came before us, and to continue the fight for a more equitable and just society.
