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 essence of Jean Francois Paul de Gondi, Cardinal de Retz, a prominent figure in 17th century France. Known for his involvement in both church affairs and political intrigue, Cardinal de Retz played a significant role during the tumultuous times of the Fronde uprising. In this portrait, we see him dressed in his elegant cassock and robes, symbolizing his high status within the Catholic Church. His piercing gaze reflects his intelligence and determination as he navigated through complex political landscapes. Cardinal de Retz's involvement in plotting against Cardinal Mazarin, Chief Minister of France at that time, showcases his audacity and willingness to challenge authority. Despite being arrested and imprisoned for his actions in 1652, he managed to regain favor with Louis XIV later on. As an influential statesman and diplomat, Cardinal de Retz dedicated much of his life to serving both church and country. This engraving by A Migneret beautifully captures not only the physical appearance but also the spirit of this remarkable individual who left an indelible mark on French history. Through this image, we are transported back to a time when power struggles were rife and religious figures held immense influence over politics. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Cardinal de Retz shaped their world through their unwavering beliefs and relentless pursuit of change.
