Indian Ocean Mauritius Tragedy Tragic Lovers
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.

The Childhood of Paul and Virginie
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that beautifully captures the essence of innocence and love. Inspired by Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's renowned novel, this 19th-century coloured engraving transports us to the enchanting world of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. In this scene, we witness two babies, Paul and Virginie, surrounded by their devoted mother and a caring servant. The tender bond between these young lovers-to-be is evident as they play amidst a picturesque landscape. A gentle sheep grazes nearby while an affectionate dog watches over them protectively. However, beneath the idyllic surface lies tragedy - a theme central to both the novel and this artwork. The artist skillfully conveys this underlying sense of melancholy through his use of muted colors and subtle expressions on the characters' faces. This print not only showcases artistic mastery but also serves as a poignant reminder of life's fragility. It invites viewers to reflect on the fleeting nature of childhood innocence and how it can be shattered by unforeseen circumstances. Displayed at Musee du Quai Branly et des Arts Premiers in Paris, France, this timeless piece continues to captivate audiences with its emotional depth. As we gaze upon "The Childhood of Paul and Virginie" we are transported into a world where beauty intertwines with tragedy – leaving us with an indelible impression that lingers long after our eyes have left the frame.
