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.

The Improvement to Paris by the Metro - A Glimpse into 19th Century Transportation Transformation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken from La Caricature on June 19th, 1886, showcases the remarkable transformation of Paris through the introduction of the Metro. Created by renowned artist Albert Robida, this colourful lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history when travel and transport were revolutionized. The image portrays an enchanting scene where bustling streets are now adorned with sleek underground trains gliding effortlessly beneath Parisian boulevards. The artwork beautifully highlights how this innovative transportation system brought about an embellishment to the city's landscape like never before. Robida's attention to detail is evident as he depicts people eagerly boarding these new marvels of engineering. Their expressions reflect a sense of excitement and wonder at this groundbreaking mode of travel that would forever change their daily lives. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print serves as a historical document showcasing not only technological advancements but also societal progress. The Metro became a symbol of modernity and urban development during the late 19th century, connecting previously distant neighborhoods and facilitating easier access for all citizens. Today, we can appreciate Robida's artistic vision while reflecting on how far we have come since those early days of subway construction. This image reminds us that innovation has always played a vital role in shaping our cities and improving our quality of life – just as it did for Paris over a century ago.
