Delivering Delivery Postman Tricorn Tricorne Postal Service Print Collector7
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment of communication. The scene depicts a French postman diligently delivering a letter, showcasing the importance of the postal service during this era. The postman stands tall and proud, his tricorn hat adding an air of elegance to his attire. His full-length portrait captures the essence of his occupation, emphasizing his role as a messenger between people and places. With every step he takes, he carries not only letters but also hopes, dreams, and news that connect individuals across the country. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image, evoking nostalgia for a bygone era when handwritten letters were cherished treasures. The intricate engraving technique used in this print highlights both the artist's skill and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this unknown man fulfilling his duty with dedication and purpose, we are reminded of how much our means of communication have evolved over time. This print serves as a testament to the significance placed on personal connections through written correspondence in 19th-century France. Through its timeless beauty and historical context, "Delivering a Letter" invites us to reflect on our own modes of communication today while appreciating those who came before us in shaping our interconnected world.
