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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Grasp All, Lose All (Qui trop embrasse, mal etrient)" by the renowned French artist Baron Pierre-Narcisse Guerin, transports us to a world of profound symbolism and introspection. Created in 1816, this masterpiece showcases Guerin's exceptional talent for capturing complex emotions through his art. The composition depicts a scene filled with tension and ambiguity. A figure is shown reaching out to grasp an object held by another person. The title itself suggests that excessive desire or greed can lead to detrimental consequences – "Grasp All, Lose All". Guerin skillfully conveys this message through the use of light and shadow, creating a dramatic atmosphere that intensifies the narrative. The lithograph technique employed here adds depth and texture to the artwork. It allows for intricate details and subtle nuances to be preserved on paper while maintaining the essence of Guerin's original brushwork. This particular print from the Liszt Collection exemplifies their commitment to preserving historical artworks in high-quality reproductions. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of our own desires and ambitions. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it is wiser to appreciate what we have rather than constantly striving for more. Baron Pierre-Narcisse Guerin's "Grasp All, Lose All" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless message about human nature and the pursuit of material wealth.
