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 an engraving of the historic Frankfurt Treaty signed on 10 May 1871, marking the end of the Franco-German war. The negotiations between Adolphe Thiers and Otto von Bismarck resulted in significant territorial changes for France. As part of the treaty, France was compelled to cede Alsace and a portion of Lorraine to Germany, while also being burdened with a hefty payment of 5 billion francs. The image captures a moment frozen in time, originally published in "Le Figaro" supplement on March 30th, 1889. It serves as a visual testament to this pivotal event that shaped European history. The French School from the 19th century skillfully crafted this engraving, now preserved within a private collection. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph evokes contemplation about themes such as peace and finance. It reminds us of how political decisions can impact nations' economies and shape their future trajectories. Moreover, it subtly alludes to universal suffrage by showcasing an important chapter when two influential leaders negotiated terms that would have lasting consequences. As we admire this colorful artwork captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, let us reflect upon the complexities inherent in international agreements and appreciate how they continue to shape our world today.
