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 photograph, titled "Tableau synoptic des traits physionomiques: pour servir a l etude du 'portrait parle'" is a remarkable piece of anthropological study by Alphonse Bertillon. Created around 1909, this gelatin silver print showcases the meticulous documentation of facial features for identification purposes. Bertillon, an influential figure in the field of physical anthropology and law enforcement, developed the technique known as bertillonage. This method aimed to accurately classify individuals based on their unique physical characteristics, aiding in criminal investigations and identification processes. In this tableau or visual representation, we witness a diverse collection of faces from various backgrounds and walks of life. Each individual's profile is meticulously captured with great attention to detail – from their eyes to their nose and chin. The composition allows us to observe the distinctiveness that lies within each person's facial structure. Through his work, Bertillon sought to establish a scientific approach towards understanding human physiognomy and its correlation with criminal behavior. His efforts revolutionized forensic science during the late 19th century. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as both an artistic marvel and a historical document. It offers us a glimpse into the early days of criminal profiling while highlighting Bertillon's significant contributions to the field.
