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 Age of Gold, or the Old Monarchy
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that transports us back to 19th century France. This satirical artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist, offers a scathing commentary on the political climate during the French Revolution. In this whimsical scene, Jupiter and his eagle soar above a serene pastoral landscape filled with sheep and frogs. The idyllic setting symbolizes stability and tranquility, contrasting sharply with the turbulent times of revolution. It is an artistic representation of the longing for the old monarchy's peaceful rule. The cartoon-like style adds a touch of humor to this satirical drawing. Through clever satire, it mocks both counter-revolutionary sentiments and the scientific methods employed by meteorologists at that time. This print was originally published as an illustration for Charles D Hericault's book "La Revolution 1789-1882". Its purpose was to provide social commentary on the events surrounding one of history's most significant revolutions - highlighting not only political upheaval but also cultural aspects such as European unity and French identity. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork today, we are reminded of how art can serve as a powerful tool in reflecting societal values and challenging prevailing ideologies. "The Age of Gold" invites us to ponder upon history while appreciating its artistic brilliance.
