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 enigmatic Sophie d Houdetot, an 18th-century French aristocrat, in all her glory. The image is a reproduction of Pierre Trahard's exquisite engraving from the collection "Masters of the XVIII Century French Sensibility". Sophie d Houdetot was not just any aristocrat; she had a fascinating connection with Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the renowned Genevan Romantic philosopher and writer. In 1757, she made history by visiting Rousseau disguised as a man, marking the beginning of their clandestine love affair. In this photograph, we see Sophie standing confidently in what appears to be a study or library. Her posture exudes elegance and poise as she gazes into the distance. It is clear that this meeting between lovers is shrouded in secrecy and surprise. The composition beautifully captures both Sophie's femininity and her audacious act of cross-dressing. The juxtaposition of her seated lover dressed as a man adds depth to their story and highlights the complexities of their relationship. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, we are transported back to an era filled with romance and intrigue. This photograph serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries – not even those imposed by societal norms or gender roles.
