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 "L Apache est la plaie de Paris" captures the essence of a tumultuous era in early 20th century Paris. The image showcases the chaotic and lawless streets, where violence and crime were rampant, as depicted by French School artists. The lithograph highlights the stark reality faced by the city's police officers who found themselves outnumbered by over 30,000 criminals. Known as Apaches, these gangs instilled fear among citizens with their ruthless activities. With only 8,000 policemen to maintain order, they struggled to combat this plague that had befallen Paris. The artwork serves as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on October 20th, 1907 - a publication that aimed to shed light on societal issues of its time. Through this powerful visual representation, it portrays the desperate situation faced by law enforcement in their battle against crime. Intriguingly composed under a night sky backdrop, this litho conveys a sense of danger lurking within every corner of Parisian streets during those dark times. The presence of a knife symbolizes the imminent threat faced by both civilians and authorities alike. As we gaze upon this historical piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, it offers us a glimpse into an era when lawlessness prevailed and reminds us of the resilience required to restore peace and order in society.
