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
This print captures the enigmatic essence of Edgar Allan Poe, one of America's most renowned literary figures. Taken in 1907 by Ismael Gentz, this pencil on paper portrait showcases the hauntingly intense gaze that defined Poe's persona. Known for his contributions to various genres such as poetry, short stories, gothic tales, detective fiction, and macabre literature, Poe's influence on American literature cannot be overstated. His works continue to captivate readers with their dark themes and psychological depth. In this photograph, Gentz skillfully portrays Poe's brooding nature through meticulous shading and intricate detailing. The monochromatic palette adds an air of mystery while emphasizing the timeless quality of his legacy. As we gaze into those piercing eyes immortalized in graphite strokes, we are reminded of Poe's ability to delve into the depths of human psyche like no other writer before or since. This image serves as a powerful reminder that even after more than a century since his untimely death at age 40, Edgar Allan Poe remains an enduring icon whose words continue to resonate with audiences worldwide. Displayed here as part of a private collection but available for public admiration through Fine Art Finder website (www. bridgemanart. com), this remarkable portrayal invites us to explore the mind behind some of literature's most chilling tales.
