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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Une Annonce de concert," or "A Concert Announcement," is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1844. This intriguing print, part of the Actualites/Caricatures du jour series, showcases a humorous take on the world of music and concert-going in the 19th century. The image depicts a couple, a husband and wife, seated at a table, engrossed in a concert announcement. The husband, dressed in a top hat and a formal coat, is excitedly pointing to the list of performers, while his wife, adorned in a bonnet and a full-length dress, looks skeptical. The performers listed include Dreizshock, Kornn, Litz, Puig, Herz, and Schwencke. The husband, with a gleam in his eye, assures his wife that for ten francs, they will be treated to an enjoyable musical experience. However, the wife's expression suggests otherwise. She raises an eyebrow, her concern evident, as the husband continues to read aloud the list of performers. He excitedly explains that they will not only be skinning their ears with the music but also furiously skinning their mouths. The implication is that the music will be so loud and harsh that it will cause discomfort, if not pain. This satirical print offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century concert-going, poking fun at the idea of inexpensive, perhaps even subpar, musical entertainment. The use of black and white, or lithotint, adds to the print's timeless and humorous appeal. Today, "Une Annonce de concert" remains a fascinating piece of art and social commentary, showcasing the humor and wit of Honore Daumier. This print is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
