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 engraving from the end of the 18th century showcases a unique musical instrument known as a Pochette player, also referred to as Pocket or Mute. The small instrument features strings and a bow, specifically designed for the use of dance masters during that era. The French School artist beautifully captured this intricate piece in great detail, highlighting its delicate structure and elegant design. The Pochette player exudes an air of sophistication, with its slender neck and graceful curves. A skilled musician is depicted holding the instrument, his fingers expertly positioned on the strings. His intense focus suggests he is fully immersed in creating enchanting melodies that would accompany dancers during their performances. This engraving offers us a glimpse into the world of music during the 18th century. It serves as a reminder of how artistry transcends time, allowing us to appreciate both past traditions and contemporary expressions. Giancarlo Costa's print not only preserves this historical artifact but also pays homage to an era where music played an integral role in cultural expression. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of our shared human connection through music - a universal language that continues to captivate hearts across centuries.
