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.

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 coloured engraving from the 19th century captures a poignant scene during the Franco-Prussian War in Paris. Titled "Garde Nationale Auxiliaire" it depicts a group of civilians, soldiers, and children gathered around a butcher's shop, their faces filled with hunger and desperation. The artist uses satire to highlight the scarcity of food during this tumultuous time. In the foreground, a young girl stands holding an empty basket while engaging in conversation with a woman who appears to be complaining about the lack of meat available. Behind them, men dressed in military uniforms discuss their own frustrations as they wait for their turn at the butchers. The artist's caricature style emphasizes the hardship faced by ordinary people during this siege. Through scathing satire, he critiques both French society and European politics of that era. This print is part of a private collection and was originally published in "Souvenirs du Siege de Paris". It offers us a glimpse into history and reminds us of the challenges faced by those living through times of conflict and scarcity. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece as part of its fine art collection, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its historical significance.
