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 print titled "Elegies a Mytilene" is an exquisite illustration from the renowned collection of Les Chansons de Bilitis by Pierre Louys, published in 1922. Created using the pochoir printing technique, this artwork showcases the remarkable talent of Georges Barbier (1882-1932), an esteemed illustrator of his time. The image transports us to ancient Greece, where two female lovers are depicted in a sensual and intimate embrace. The reclining figures exude elegance and grace as they bask in their nakedness, evoking a sense of timeless beauty. This art deco masterpiece perfectly captures the essence of love and desire between women. Barbier's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, showcasing his mastery over form and composition. The delicate portrayal of nipples adds an element of eroticism without compromising the overall aesthetic appeal. As we delve into this piece, it becomes apparent that it celebrates not only same-sex relationships but also pays homage to classical Greek culture. Through its exploration of homosexuality within antiquity, this artwork challenges societal norms while highlighting the rich history surrounding LGBTQ+ identities. With its stunning depiction of femininity and sensuality, this print stands as a testament to Barbier's artistic brilliance within the art deco movement. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries or restrictions – transcending time and cultural barriers. This exceptional work exemplifies why Barbier remains one of France's most celebrated illustrators, leaving an indelible mark
