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 captures a significant moment during the French Revolution. In September 1792, amidst the fervor of rebellion, the people burned Claude Chappes' telegraph in the park of Saint-Fargeau in Menilamount. Mistakenly believing it to be a device intended to communicate with the imprisoned royal family at the Temple, this act symbolized their defiance against monarchy and oppression. The engraving from "The wonders of science" by Louis Figuier transports us back to this tumultuous time in history. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship bring forth an atmosphere charged with revolutionary spirit. It serves as a reminder of how communication played a pivotal role in shaping events during that era. Intriguingly, this image also highlights the power of perception and misinformation. The burning telegraph represents not only an act of rebellion but also reflects how fear and suspicion can lead people astray. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported into an age where every action had profound consequences for society's future. Giancarlo Costa's masterful capture allows us to witness firsthand one small yet impactful event within the larger tapestry of revolution. Its historical significance is undeniable, serving as a testament to human resilience and determination for change. This print is more than just art; it is a window into our past—a visual representation that invites contemplation on themes such as communication, revolution, and societal transformation.
