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 captures the essence of Eve and David Sechard, two beloved characters from Honore de Balzac's renowned novel "Les Illusions perdues". Illustrated by Celestin Francois Nanteuil in 1842, this engraving beautifully portrays the intimate connection between these fictional lovers. Eve and David Sechard are depicted seated together in a modest interior setting, reflecting their provincial lives. The image exudes a sense of shyness and tenderness as they lean towards each other, their eyes filled with love. Their body language speaks volumes about their deep affection for one another. David Sechard, a scientist and inventor, is shown as an intelligent yet humble man who has purchased his father's printing works. His groundbreaking invention of a new method for paper production revolutionizes the industry. Eve Sechard complements him perfectly as his devoted wife, supporting him through thick and thin. The couple's story unfolds within the larger context of Balzac's masterpiece "La Comedie Humaine" specifically in part I titled "Les deux poetes" (The Two Poets). As close friends to Lucien de Rubempre, they navigate life in Angouleme while pursuing their dreams amidst societal challenges. This remarkable print not only showcases the artistic talent of Nanteuil but also transports us into the world created by Balzac. It reminds us of the power of love and companionship that can thrive even in seemingly ordinary circumstances.
