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 Louis Auguste Grandidier, a 20-year-old day laborer from St-Denis (Seine), France. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print is an intriguing blend of artistry and scientific documentation. Grandidier's arresting gaze speaks volumes about his anarchist beliefs, as indicated by the inscription on the photograph. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a moment that encapsulates not only an individual but also an entire era marked by political unrest and social upheaval. Bertillonage, a pioneering method developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, was employed to create this portrait with meticulous precision. This technique combined elements of anthropology and physical measurement to aid in criminal identification—a testament to the intersection between science and law enforcement during the late 19th century. As we delve into this image's historical significance, it becomes clear that it represents more than just one man's face; it embodies a larger narrative of rebellion against societal norms. Grandidier stands as a symbol for those who challenged authority and sought change within their country. Preserved within the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable artifact documenting our shared human history. It invites us to reflect upon the complexities of identity politics while appreciating Bertillon's mastery behind the lens.
