The "stent" shadowbox is fabricated in-house using two stock frames, removing the lip from one and joining them back-to-back to get the 3.5 inches of depth. These two large photographs are framed with Neilsen Florentine Silver aluminum frames and hung using a three-point secuity hanging system. In addition to deterring theft, the hanging system eliminates shifting of the pieces against the wall. Down one of the hallways we hung 6 historical photos of emergency ro...
