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 takes us back to 1854, offering a glimpse into the interior of a Custom-House in France. The wood engraving, based on a painting by François Auguste Biard, beautifully captures the essence of this mid-19th century scene. As we explore the image, our eyes are drawn to the bustling crowd that fills the room. Men and women from various walks of life gather here, creating an atmosphere filled with anticipation and curiosity. Among them is an officer who stands tall and authoritative, overseeing the customs proceedings. The attention to detail in this fine art engraving is remarkable. Each individual seems immersed in their own world as they navigate through stacks of luggage and paperwork. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring out every texture and nuance within the scene. This historic snapshot offers us a window into French society during this period - a time when immigration was prevalent and travel was becoming more accessible for people from all backgrounds. As we observe this custom-house interior frozen in time, we can't help but feel transported back to that era; imagining ourselves amidst these travelers as they embark on new journeys or return home after long voyages. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with an extraordinary piece that not only showcases artistic talent but also invites us to reflect upon history's rich tapestry.
