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 renowned French explorer, Jean-Baptiste Charcot, in 1910. Known for his commanding role in the French Antarctic Expeditions of 1904-1907 and 1908-1910, Charcot's legacy as an intrepid explorer is etched into history. In this portrait, he exudes a sense of determination and curiosity that defined his career. Charcot's gaze pierces through time, revealing a man who dedicated his life to exploration and discovery. His rugged beard adds to the aura of adventure surrounding him, while the desk behind him symbolizes the meticulous planning required for such expeditions. Although primarily associated with Antarctica, Charcot later shifted his focus towards the Arctic. Tragically, fate had other plans for him when he met his untimely demise in 1936 during a storm off the coast of Iceland. The wrecking of his ship Pourquoi-Pas? marked an end to an extraordinary life filled with daring escapades. This photograph is part of "Album de Photographies" which offers intimate glimpses into illustrious figures from 1855 to 1915. Preserved by Editions MD on Rue de L'Arcade in Paris, it serves as a timeless tribute to one of France's most celebrated explorers. As we observe this image today, we are reminded not only of Charcot's remarkable achievements but also of humanity's unyielding spirit to venture into unknown territories in pursuit of
