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. 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 print titled "ALGERIA: FRENCH SOLDIER" takes us back to the year 1860, during the era of French colonialism in Algeria. The image showcases a striking portrait of an unidentified French soldier standing tall and proud, dressed in the uniform of the First Hussards, a renowned light cavalry unit. The soldier's uniform is meticulously detailed, reflecting both functionality and elegance. His hussar jacket features intricate braiding and ornate buttons, while his trousers are tucked into knee-high boots. A gleaming sword rests at his side, symbolizing strength and authority. The lighting highlights every aspect of this mannequin-like figure with precision. It casts shadows that add depth to his facial expression - a mix of determination and perhaps even weariness from serving in a foreign land far away from home. This photograph not only captures the essence of military life but also serves as a reminder of France's imperialistic presence in Algeria during this time period. It invites contemplation on the complexities surrounding colonization and its impact on both colonizers and colonized peoples. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Granger Art on Demand, we are transported to an era long gone but still etched into history.
