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 powerful print captures a significant moment in American history - the Radical Convention of 1866 held in Philadelphia. The image showcases a large group of men, dressed in period costumes, gathered together for an important meeting that would shape the future of the United States. However, what is immediately striking about this photograph is the stark segregation present among those attending. The scene highlights the prejudice and unfairness prevalent during this time, as only men are seen participating in this crucial event. It serves as a reminder of the social issues and civil rights struggles faced by marginalized groups during this era. The illustration technique employed here adds depth to the image, bringing to life not just the individuals but also their emotions and determination. The use of Western script on banners further emphasizes their fight for justice within existing laws. Set against an outdoor backdrop, it symbolizes both progress and ongoing challenges faced by society at large. This gathering was undoubtedly a moving activity that aimed to address these pressing issues head-on. Overall, this print from Universal Images Group (UIG) offers viewers a glimpse into American culture during one of its most transformative periods. It serves as a poignant reminder of our past struggles while inspiring us to continue working towards equality and justice for all.
