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, titled "View of the New Port of Toulon and the Kings Squadron, 1777" transports us back to a bustling French port in the late 18th century. Painted with exquisite detail and vibrant colors, this gouache artwork by Michel de Toulon captures the essence of maritime life during that era. The scene unfolds before our eyes as we gaze upon a panoramic view of Toulon's new port. The Mediterranean glistens under the warm sun, reflecting off the hulls of numerous ships anchored in its waters. Sailors scurry about their duties on deck while others are seen rowing small boats between vessels. Intriguingly, at the center of this lively harbor stands an impressive naval base where warships are being prepared for action. These mighty vessels proudly display their flags as they await orders from the King's Squadron. It is a testament to France's naval power during this period. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of purpose and energy within this maritime hub. This print serves as both an aesthetic delight and historical documentation, transporting us back to a time when ports like Toulon were vital centers for trade and military operations. Displayed at Musee des Beaux-Arts et d'Archeologie in Besancon, France, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in history through artistry.
