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
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Giroux. Hippolyte, a 34-year-old mechanic from Montreuil les Mines in Saone & Loire, France. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, this albumen silver print showcases the fascinating intersection between art and science during the late 19th century. Giroux's piercing gaze and rugged features are intensified by the monochromatic tones of the image, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. His identification as an anarchist adds another layer to his persona, hinting at his involvement in political movements that challenged societal norms. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident through his meticulous attention to detail in capturing Giroux's physical characteristics for identification purposes. This portrait serves as both a record of Giroux's arrest and an exploration into the field of physical anthropology. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph not only showcases Bertillon's mastery but also highlights the historical significance of mug shots as a tool for law enforcement during that era. It invites viewers to delve into questions surrounding crime, identity, and social order prevalent during this period. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where photography served not only as an art form but also as a means to document history and unravel human complexities.
