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
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Musulmanes Fesant la Prière' (Different Costumes of Muslims in Prayer), created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse around 1797, is a captivating and historically significant engraving that offers a glimpse into the rich cultural diversity of the 18th century. The image depicts a group of Muslim women in various stages of prayer, each dressed in traditional clothing, adding vibrant colors and intricate patterns to the outdoor setting. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and Labrousse, two prominent French artists of the time, collaborated on this ethnographic project to document the costumes and customs of different countries and communities. This particular print, 'Musulmanes Fesant la Prière,' showcases the Islamic world, with the women dressed in traditional clothing, including the hejab or hijab, a head covering worn by Muslim women as a sign of modesty. The women are shown kneeling on prayer mats or rugs, their postures expressing deep concentration and devotion. The outdoor setting, with trees and foliage in the background, adds to the serene atmosphere and emphasizes the connection between the natural world and the spiritual practices of these individuals. This hand-colored engraving on paper is a testament to the artists' meticulous attention to detail and their commitment to preserving the heritage and traditions of the past. Today, it is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's extensive collection, serving as an essential resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of costume, ethnography, and the artistic representation of diverse communities.
