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 print showcases the painting "A Zouave" by Thomas Couture, created between 1856 and 1862. The artwork, measuring 78.4x41.9 cm, is housed in the prestigious Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA. The painting depicts a soldier known as a Zouave, who served in the French army during the mid-19th century. Dressed in his distinctive uniform, this African soldier represents an important chapter in French military history and colonialism. Zouaves were elite infantry units composed mainly of Algerian soldiers recruited from North Africa. Their unique attire consisted of colorful baggy trousers (seroual), short open jackets (veste) with braiding details, and fezzes adorned with tassels. Couture's masterful brushwork brings to life the intricate details of this North African warrior's dress and features. The artist expertly captures both the strength and dignity exuded by these soldiers. Through this remarkable piece of artistry, viewers are transported back to a time when France sought to establish its presence in Algeria through military conquests and colonization. As we admire this exceptional painting captured beautifully on canvas, we are reminded of the rich history that lies behind it – one that encompasses not only artistic brilliance but also complex narratives of power dynamics between nations and cultures.
