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 titled "The Precautions" transports us back to 18th-century Paris, offering a glimpse into the lives of the aristocracy during the reign of Louis XVI. Engraved by Pietro Antonio Martini in 1777, this exquisite piece showcases the talent and attention to detail that characterized his work. The image depicts a male and female couple standing outdoors on a cobbled street, surrounded by an elegant cityscape. The man is dressed in a fashionable uniform while the woman, visibly pregnant, wears an elaborate costume befitting her social status. They are accompanied by several servants who assist them with care and support. In this scene of domesticity and refinement, we witness the importance placed on pregnancy and childbirth within French society at that time. The couple's cautious demeanor suggests their awareness of potential risks associated with pregnancy during this era. The composition exudes elegance as it captures not only fashion trends but also architectural elements such as domes and sedan chairs commonly seen in Parisian streets during this period. Adolphe Giraudon's late 19th-century photograph beautifully preserves Moreau le Jeune's original engraving for future generations to appreciate. This historical artwork offers us a window into both artistic mastery and societal values from centuries past.
