Antoine Antoine Franz Bonnet Franz Franz Antoine Albumen Silver Print
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.

[Portrait of an Elderly Woman], 1850s-60s - A Glimpse into the Victorian Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white portrait, taken by Austrian photographer Franz Antoine in the mid-19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of an elderly woman during the Victorian era. The subject's weathered face tells a story of wisdom and resilience, reflecting a lifetime of experiences. Dressed in traditional clothing with a bonnet adorning her head, this woman exudes elegance and grace. Her attire speaks volumes about the fashion trends prevalent at that time, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating such garments. The albumen silver print technique used by Antoine adds depth and texture to this remarkable photograph. Each delicate line etched on her face is beautifully captured, highlighting every wrinkle as if they were brushstrokes on canvas. As we contemplate this image today, we are transported back to a simpler time when photography was still in its infancy. This portrait not only immortalizes one individual but also serves as a testament to the artistry behind early photographic techniques. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this piece stands as a reminder of our shared heritage. It allows us to connect with those who came before us while appreciating their unique stories through visual representation. Franz Antoine's [Portrait of an Elderly Woman] invites us to reflect upon our own journey through life while honoring those who paved the way for future generations.
