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.

But the hands that were played by that heathen Chinee:
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing caption accompanies a vintage print from the late 1800s, showcasing a scene of three men intently engaged in a card game. Among them is a Chinese-American man, his expression focused and determined as he lays down his cards on the table. The term "heathen Chinee" is a derogatory and racist epithet that was commonly used during this era to refer to Chinese immigrants. The use of this term in the caption underscores the prejudice and discrimination that Chinese-Americans faced during this period of American history. Despite this, the image itself portrays a seemingly ordinary scene of camaraderie and friendly competition. The men are dressed in fashionable attire of the time, with the Chinese-American man wearing a long, flowing robe and a wide-brimmed hat. The other two men, who appear to be Caucasian, wear suits and top hats. The setting is a dimly lit room, with a fireplace and ornate wallpaper adding to the cozy atmosphere. Despite the offensive caption, the image itself offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a moment of shared experience between individuals from different ethnic backgrounds. It also serves as a reminder of the complex and often troubled history of race relations in America, and the ongoing struggle for equality and inclusion. The print, which dates back to around 1870, is a poignant reminder of a time when prejudice and discrimination were all too common. Yet, it also offers a glimpse into the resilience and determination of those who faced such challenges, and the enduring human desire for connection and community, regardless of race or ethnicity. Overall, this image is a powerful reminder of the complex and often troubled history of race relations in America, and the ongoing struggle for equality and inclusion. It is a testament to the human spirit and the enduring power of community and connection, despite the challenges and prejudices that have long divided us.
