About
Having moved from the open air of Southern farmland to the cramped tenement living situation of the North, many migrants were exposed to pathogens that quickly turned fatal. Three figures cloaked in black solemnly bear the weight of the coffin. Simple shapes compose the space, the triangular forms of the funeral attendees coupled with the rectangle of the coffin. The icy landscape symbolizes not only the cold harshness of death, but also the cold temperatures and lack of access to quality healthcare that attributed to the tuberculosis outbreaks.

Custom Framing
We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free mat board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like a wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.
Please note that the images of frames displayed here are meant to be representative of those used in our custom-framed products, but may not exactly match the ones in the actual products
