The drought of the late 1930’s ended the dreams of many homesteaders who came to Indian Territory in search of a permanent home. The drought and erosion of the Dust Bowl affected 100,000,000 acres that centered on the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma and forced tens of thousands of poverty-stricken families to abandon their farms. Many of these families, who were often known as "Okies" because so many of them came from Oklahoma, migrated to California and other states to find that the Great Depression had rendered economic conditions there little better than those they had left.
Fine art photographic papers offer fade-resistant, archival inks (pigment based) that are sprayed onto the substrate making for an archival print that will last a lifetime. Photographs are printed either on (1) Metallic photo paper that provides a high-gloss, metallic appearance or on (2) Luster that provides a slightly glossy, textured look. Paper selection is dictated by the characteristics of the photograph. This loose-print option will be packaged securely and should arrive within 1-2 weeks.
Aluminum prints are made by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Depending on the image, either white glossy or sheer glossy finishes are produced. The infused image produces rich, vivid colors and detail not found in any other media. Metal prints are durable and do not fade or stain over time. Aluminum prints are fitted with a floating mount that allows the print to hang directly on the wall. If you prefer to have your photograph framed once you receive it, you may request “no float mount” to allow for traditional framing.
