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 evocative photograph captures the raw energy and determination of sugar cane workers toiling in the fields of Montego, Jamaica, around the turn of the 20th century. The image offers a glimpse into the rich historical context of the Caribbean sugar industry and the daily lives of its laborers. Sugar cane, a staple crop in the tropical climate of Jamaica, was a vital component of the island's economy. The labor-intensive process of cutting and harvesting the cane was a backbreaking task that required immense physical strength and endurance. The workers, dressed in simple clothing and armed with machetes, are focused on their task, their faces etched with concentration and sweat. The photograph also serves as a poignant reminder of the challenging conditions under which these workers labored. Long hours in the hot sun, harsh weather, and the risk of injury were commonplace. Despite these challenges, the workers continued to toil, driven by the need to provide for themselves and their families. This image offers a unique window into the history of the sugar industry in the Caribbean and the lives of its workers. It is a testament to their resilience and the important role they played in shaping the economic and cultural landscape of Jamaica and the wider region.
