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.

A Moment of Education Amidst War: Rural School Children of San Augustine County, Texas, 1943 This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the lives of rural school children in San Augustine County, Texas, during the spring of 1943. Amidst the backdrop of the Second World War, these young students, dressed in their Sunday best, gather around their schoolhouse, eager to learn and grow. The scene is simple yet powerful, with the children seated on the ground, their hands folded in their laps, as their teacher, Miss Thompson, stands at the front of the room, pointing to a United States map on the wall. The map, adorned with red stars representing American military bases and blue stars symbolizing soldiers in the armed forces, serves as a stark reminder of the global conflict that was unfolding beyond the confines of their rural community. Despite the challenges of the war, education continued to be a priority for these children, who were determined to make the most of their opportunities. The school, a humble yet vital institution, provided them with a sense of normalcy and continuity amidst the chaos of the world around them. This photograph, taken in April of 1943, offers a glimpse into the lives of these resilient rural school children in Texas during a time of war. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of education, community, and perseverance, even in the face of adversity.
