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
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to Chalons, France in 1857. The image features a mesmerizing scene of a Zouave storyteller, skillfully captured by the renowned French photographer Gustave Le Gray (1820 - 1884). Le Gray's mastery is evident in every detail of this albumen silver print. The composition draws us into the world of the Zouave storyteller, who sits at the center of attention with his animated gestures and expressive face. His captivating storytelling transports us to distant lands and ancient times. The rich tones and textures achieved through the albumen silver process add depth and dimension to the image, enhancing our immersion into this historical moment. Le Gray's technical expertise shines through as he expertly balances light and shadow, creating a sense of drama that further enhances our connection with both subject and story. This photograph not only captures a fleeting moment but also serves as a testament to Le Gray's ability to capture emotion and narrative within still images. It invites us to imagine ourselves among an enraptured audience, hanging on every word spoken by this talented Zouave storyteller. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from history, we can't help but be reminded of photography's power to transcend time and space – allowing us glimpses into worlds long gone while igniting our own imagination.
