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.

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 Nose of the Triple Alliance
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking print that depicts a satirical take on the political landscape of 19th century Europe. Created by Henri Meyer, this color lithograph humorously lampoons Germany, Austria, Italy, and Britain through an allegorical representation inspired by the ancient statue of Laocoon and his sons. In this artwork, the noses of these great powers are exaggerated to symbolize their rivalry and competition for dominance in foreign relations. The sculpture serves as a scathing satire on the Triple Alliance, with each country vying for power while also highlighting their individual characteristics. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the intricate facial expressions to the meticulous rendering of each nation's cultural symbols, "The Nose of the Triple Alliance" captures both historical context and contemporary commentary. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon not only European politics at that time but also broader themes such as nationalism and power dynamics. It serves as a reminder that even in art form, satire can be used effectively to critique societal structures. With its rich symbolism and clever caricatures, "The Nose of the Triple Alliance" remains relevant today as it invites us to question alliances, rivalries, and our own understanding of global affairs.
