FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's "Album of the Siege of Paris, Elephant" a remarkable piece that captures the essence of a significant historical event. The artwork, created with pen and brown ink wash on paper, measures 16.9x23.1 cm and is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. The image depicts an intricate drawing of an elephant amidst the chaos and destruction of the Franco-Prussian War during the Siege of Paris in 1870-71. Dore's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully portrays this majestic creature against a backdrop filled with tension and despair. Through this powerful sketch, Dore provides us with a glimpse into history - an animal caught up in human conflict. The elephant symbolizes strength and resilience while serving as a metaphor for both sides involved in this war. As we study this artwork further, we can appreciate its significance as not just a simple report or study but rather as a profound reflection on humanity's capacity for destruction during times of conflict. This photograph offers viewers an opportunity to connect with history through art; it serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil, beauty can be found within artistic expression.
