23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 vintage postcard captures the essence of California's rich agricultural history. Taken around 1900, it showcases a group of farm workers diligently drying raisin grapes in the warm Californian sun. The landscape is dotted with rows upon rows of drying racks, filled to the brim with plump and juicy grapes transforming into delicious dried fruit. The scene exudes a sense of hard work and dedication as these laborers tend to nature's bounty. With their hats shielding them from the scorching sun, they meticulously arrange each grape on the racks, ensuring an even drying process. The lush green trees surrounding them provide shade and add to the picturesque beauty of this rural setting. This postcard not only celebrates agriculture but also highlights America's love affair with food and its natural world. It serves as a reminder that before modern technology took over, humans relied on manual labor and traditional methods to produce essential sustenance for themselves and others. The English text on this postcard adds an element of commercial artistry, showcasing how design arts were used even in everyday items like postcards during this period. As we admire this photolithograph print captured by Detroit Photographic Company, let us appreciate the skillful craftsmanship behind preserving such moments in time for future generations to cherish.
