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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles Augustin de Ferriol, Comte d'Argental, a prominent figure in 18th-century France. Engraved by the talented Jean Baptiste Fosseyeux in 1788, this portrait captures the essence of Count Argental's distinguished presence. Count Argental was not only a French administrator but also an ambassador and counselor of Paris Parliament. However, it is his close friendship with Voltaire that truly sets him apart. The renowned philosopher often corresponded with Count Argental through letters, highlighting their deep connection. In this engraving, we see Count Argental portrayed as an elderly gentleman with a stooped posture. His wig and jabot add to the sense of formality and elegance that characterized the Enlightenment era. The oval frame further enhances his dignified aura. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the world of influential individuals during this transformative period in history. It serves as a reminder of the intellectual exchanges and friendships that shaped society at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Jean Florent Defraine after Jean Baptiste Fosseyeux's engraving process, let us appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance.
