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 etching by Franz Xavier Habermann, titled 'View of the main street in Quebec, 1755-1779,' offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Quebec, Canada. The image, created during the 18th century for the Imperial Franciscan Academy in the Low Countries, showcases the architectural grandeur and military presence of the bustling town. The main street is lined with impressive townhouses and buildings, their facades displaying intricate details and vibrant colors. Soldiers from the armed forces can be seen marching along the street, adding a sense of order and discipline to the scene. Men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, engage in conversation and go about their daily business. The perspective of the etching draws the viewer's eye down the length of the street, revealing the rich history and cultural heritage of Quebec during the colonial period. The watercolor technique used by Habermann adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the scene to life. This etching is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the daily life and architecture of Quebec during the 18th century. It is a testament to the artistic skill of Franz Xavier Habermann and the Imperial Franciscan Academy, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of colonialism in Canada. The image is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and serves as a reminder of the important role that art and historical records play in preserving the past for future generations.
