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 satirical cartoon print from 1897 captures the complex dynamics of Russian foreign policy during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II. The image depicts France, represented by her mascots Chanticleer and Madeleine, making advances towards the powerful Russian leader. The use of symbolism such as flags, medals, and facial expressions conveys a scathing commentary on international relations at the time.
The artist behind this piece skillfully combines elements of humor and political critique to create a thought-provoking work that still resonates today. The exaggerated features and caricatured figures add an element of whimsy to what is ultimately a serious subject matter.
As we reflect on this historical moment through the lens of art, we are reminded of the intricate web of alliances and rivalries that shaped global politics in the late 19th century. This print serves as both a snapshot of a specific period in history and a timeless commentary on power dynamics between nations.
Whether you are a history buff or simply appreciate fine art, this print is sure to spark conversation and contemplation about diplomacy, satire, and human nature itself.
