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.

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.

Notre dernier gateau des rois,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Our Last King's Cake," is a powerful and poignant caricature by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1872. This print, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a captivating addition to any art collection or gallery. Daumier's masterful depiction of the Battle of Sedan, which took place on September 1, 1870, is brilliantly conveyed through this caricature. The image shows a defeated and disheveled French monarch, King Napoleon III, sitting on a throne made of a large, ornate king's cake. The cake, adorned with the Prussian pickelhaube helmets, symbolizes the defeat of the French monarchy and the rise of the Prussian Empire. The satirical and humorous tone of the piece is evident in the exaggerated features of the king and the surrounding soldiers, as well as the playful lettering that reads "Notre dernier gateau des rois" in the top right corner. The print was created using the Gillotype process on newsprint, a popular technique during the 19th century, and its monochrome palette adds to its timeless and historic feel. This caricature is a testament to the power of art as a means of commenting on current events and reflecting the cultural and political climate of its time. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is just one of the many prestigious institutions that have recognized the importance of this piece, and it continues to be a popular subject of study and admiration among art enthusiasts and historians alike. Whether you're a collector, an art aficionado, or simply someone interested in history, "Notre dernier gateau des rois" by Honore Daumier is a must-see piece that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
