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 vibrant lithograph captures the essence of an Albanian man from the late 19th century. Part of the iconic Worlds Smokers series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, this cigarette card offers a glimpse into American cultural perceptions at that time. The image showcases a man dressed in traditional Albanian attire, complete with a striking green turban and intricate headgear. His facial hair, adorned with a well-groomed mustache, adds to his distinguished appearance. The artwork reflects both the fascination and stereotypes prevalent during this era. It is important to note that this piece should be viewed within its historical context rather than as an accurate representation of Albania or its people. Satirical elements can be observed through exaggerated features and costume choices, which were often used for entertainment purposes. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this lithograph serves as a testament to the influence of tobacco companies on popular culture during the Victorian period in America. While it may not reflect contemporary values or norms, it provides valuable insight into how different cultures were perceived and portrayed at that time. As we appreciate this Heritage Art print today, let us remember to approach it with sensitivity and understanding towards cultural diversity and evolving societal perspectives.
