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 poster transports us back to the late 19th century, when Victor Hugo's timeless masterpiece, Les Misérables, was first published. Created by the renowned artist Jules Cheret, this colour lithograph captures the essence of the romantic novel that has captured hearts for generations. The poster features a young girl in a shadowy silhouette against a vibrant background. Her delicate figure stands as an advertisement for Les Misérables, enticing viewers with its allure and intrigue. The use of shadows adds an air of mystery and drama to the composition, reflecting the complex characters and plotlines within Hugo's epic tale. Set against a backdrop depicting scenes from Paris during the July Revolution of 1830, this artwork immerses us in history while evoking emotions tied to love, sacrifice, and redemption. The presence of a servant maid carrying a pail hints at one of the central characters - Cosette - who endures hardship before finding solace amidst chaos. Cheret masterfully combines elements from both art and literature to create an alluring visual representation that beckons readers into Hugo's world. This print serves as both an homage to Les Misérables' enduring legacy and as an invitation for new readers to embark on their own journey through its pages. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide thanks to eArchives Charmet and Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this poster continues to captivate audiences over a century after its creation.
