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 titled "View of the Grain Market and the Astronomical Column, Paris, 18th-19th century" takes us back in time to witness a bustling scene of daily life in the heart of Paris. Painted by Victor Jean Nicolle, this watercolor on paper masterpiece captures the essence of commerce and trade during that era. The image showcases the magnificent architecture of Les Halles, where flour, wheat, and grains were stored and traded. The grand dome stands tall amidst a sea of wagons transporting goods to and from the market. The vibrant colors used by Nicolle bring life to this historical moment frozen in time. Intriguingly, at the center of attention is an astronomical column with solar features. This unique addition adds an element of wonderment to an already lively scene. It serves as a reminder that even amidst busy commercial activities, there was still room for scientific exploration and appreciation. As we gaze upon this artwork from Musee National du Chateau de Malmaison in Rueil-Malmaison, France; we are transported back centuries ago when markets like these were at the heart of city life. Through this print's intricate details and rich history depicted within it, we gain insight into how commerce shaped society during that period. This stunning piece offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also invites contemplation about our own modern-day trading practices while appreciating their roots deeply embedded in history.
