Characters Giving Hanging Immigrants Latest Roof Stand Strips 1907
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 photograph captures a piece of history from 1907, showcasing a unique Japanese-style news stand on the West coast of America. The wooden structure is adorned with strips of Japanese characters hanging from the roof, providing the latest news to passersby. This image offers a glimpse into the cultural import and influence of Japanese immigrants in North America during this time period.
The intricate design and craftsmanship of the stand reflect the attention to detail and pride taken by its builders. It serves as a reminder of the diversity and rich tapestry of immigrant communities that have contributed to shaping American society.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to an era where communication was not instantaneous but relied on physical structures like this news stand to disseminate information. The blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics with American functionality is truly striking, highlighting the fusion of cultures that has long been a hallmark of immigrant experiences in America.
This photograph is not just a visual record but also a testament to resilience, creativity, and adaptability in the face of new challenges and environments.
