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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively lithograph captures a moment of joy and camaraderie among French mountain troops in the late 19th century. The soldiers, known as chasseurs alpins, are seen dancing energetically to the tune of a barrel organ. Their uniforms denote their military affiliation, but in this instance, they have momentarily shed their combat roles to revel in the pleasures of music and dance. Set against a backdrop of majestic mountains, these troops find respite from their arduous duties within the confines of their barracks. The image portrays not only their physical strength but also highlights the importance of leisure and entertainment for soldiers during times of peace. The scene exudes an atmosphere filled with fun and enjoyment as the soldiers move in synchrony with one another. Their choreography reflects both discipline and freedom, showcasing their unity as well as individual expression. This print offers us a glimpse into French culture at that time - where music was an integral part of social gatherings and community bonding. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the rigors of military life, moments like these were cherished by soldiers who sought solace through shared experiences. Overall, this artwork encapsulates both the spirit and humanity behind those who serve in armed forces - reminding us that beyond duty lies individuals seeking connection, happiness, and brief respites from the demands placed upon them.
