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 print showcases the iconic portrait of Benjamin Franklin, created in 1777 through an intricate etching process. The first state of this artwork, masterfully executed by Bocher, is a testament to the skill and artistry involved in its creation. With dimensions measuring approximately 11 3/16 x 5 13/16 inches (284 x 148 cm), this print truly captures the essence of Franklin's distinguished presence. Augustin de Saint Aubin, a renowned French artist from Paris who lived between 1736 and 1807, expertly reproduced Charles Nicolas Cochin II's original work for this remarkable piece. The attention to detail and precision evident in every stroke make it a true masterpiece. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are transported back to the era when Benjamin Franklin was one of America's most influential figures. His intellectual brilliance and tireless dedication to his country are palpable even today. The Liszt Collection has preserved this extraordinary print with utmost care and reverence for historical significance. It serves as a reminder not only of Franklin's immense contributions but also of the artistic talent that brought him to life on paper over two centuries ago.
