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
In this photo print, titled "Ludus Pro Patria, 1883" we are transported back to ancient France. Painted by the talented artist Puvis de Chavannes, this oil on fabric masterpiece measures an impressive 113.5x197 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. The scene depicted showcases a group of elder men diligently working and training for what appears to be a traditional athletic game. Clad in rustic attire, these athletes engage in various activities such as spear throwing and roofing practice. The village setting adds an authentic touch to the composition while emphasizing the importance of community involvement. "Patriotic games" seems to be at the heart of this artwork's theme, symbolizing not only physical prowess but also a deep sense of national pride. The title itself translates to "Game for Fatherland" further reinforcing its patriotic undertones. Puvis de Chavannes skillfully captures both the strength and determination of these male figures as they prepare themselves for competition. Their focused expressions reflect their dedication towards honing their skills. This painting offers us a glimpse into French history and culture while reminding us that sports have always played an integral role in society throughout time. It serves as a testament to our ancestors' commitment towards preserving traditions and fostering unity through shared activities.
