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
In this print titled "Tollbooth in Lyon is plundered as a result of increased excise duties, 1625" captured by Caspar Luyken and Pieter van der Aa in 1698, we are transported back to a tumultuous moment in history. The image depicts the aftermath of a riot that erupted due to the imposition of higher excise taxes. The scene is filled with chaos and destruction as angry protesters have laid siege to the tollbooth in Lyon. The tollbooth stands as a symbol of authority and oppression, now left ravaged by the fury of those who felt burdened by excessive taxation. Broken windows, scattered debris, and smoke lingering in the air all bear witness to the intensity of this uprising. Luyken's masterful composition captures not only the physical damage but also conveys an atmosphere charged with emotion. One can almost feel the anger and frustration seeping through every inch of this powerful image. This print from Quint Lox's collection serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have fought against injustice and unfair policies imposed upon them. It invites us to reflect on our own society's struggles for equality and justice while appreciating how art can immortalize these significant moments for generations to come.
