Bored Convicts Expelled Penal Colony Tents Hanging Around
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
The print captures a haunting scene from the Deportee Camp on the Cros Peninsula in New Caledonia, circa 1873. The engraving by Hippolyte Dutheil depicts a desolate landscape filled with tents housing political prisoners from the Paris Commune. This penal colony served as a place of exile for convicts who were expelled from France. In this image, we see a group of prisoners hanging around aimlessly, their faces revealing boredom and resignation. With nothing to do and nowhere to go, they appear trapped in an endless cycle of monotony. The harsh conditions of their confinement are evident in the barren surroundings and makeshift shelters. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the lives of these deported individuals, highlighting both their physical isolation and emotional detachment from society. It serves as a reminder of the consequences faced by those who dared challenge authority during turbulent times. Preserved at Musee des Arts d'Afrique et d'Oceanie in Paris, France, this historic image provides valuable insight into an often overlooked chapter in French history. As we reflect upon this engraving's significance today, it prompts us to consider questions about justice, punishment, and human resilience in the face of adversity.
