FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 colored engraving depicts Alfredo Branas Menendez (1859-1900), a prominent Galician writer and ideologue of the late 19th century. The image, created by the skilled hand of Thomas Pijoliu, was published in "The Catalan Illustration" in 1882. Branas Menendez is portrayed as a mature man with a thick beard and piercing eyes, dressed in a formal suit and wearing a top hat. His signature is visible below the illustration, adding an authentic touch to the print. Born in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, Branas Menendez was a key figure in the Galician regionalist movement, advocating for the cultural and political autonomy of Galicia within the Spanish state. His writings, which reflected his deep love and appreciation for his native region, played a significant role in promoting Galician identity and fostering a sense of pride among the Galician people. The engraving captures the intellectual and political spirit of the era, as Europe underwent significant social and political changes in the late 19th century. Branas Menendez's image serves as a reminder of the rich literary and ideological traditions that emerged during this period, shaping the cultural landscape of Europe and beyond. The intricately detailed engraving, with its vibrant colors and lifelike rendering, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when writers and ideologues like Branas Menendez played a pivotal role in shaping the course of history. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring power of the written word and the importance of preserving the historical record for future generations.
