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 image, titled "Beaumarchais (Pierre-Augustin Caron) Reading His Works to Some Friends," is a charming depiction of the renowned French writer and clockmaker, Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, in the year 1799. The scene takes place in a serene countryside setting, with Beaumarchais sitting on a wooden bench, surrounded by a small group of friends. He is deeply engrossed in his works, holding a folio open in his hands, while his friends listen intently, some leaning in for a closer look, and others shading themselves with parasols from the sun. Beaumarchais, born in 1732, was a prolific writer and playwright, best known for his works "The Barber of Seville" and "The Marriage of Figaro." In addition to his literary accomplishments, he was also an accomplished clockmaker, having learned the trade from his father. The image captures the essence of an intellectual gathering, with Beaumarchais sharing his creations with those around him. The costume of the figures in the painting adds to the historical authenticity of the scene, with Beaumarchais dressed in a fashionable robe and tricorn hat, and his friends wearing the fashionable clothing of the late 18th century. The inclusion of parasols not only adds to the picturesque quality of the image but also serves as a reminder of the importance of sun protection during the warmer months. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when literature and intellectual pursuits were celebrated in the tranquility of the countryside. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the scene invites us to imagine the lively discussions and debates that must have taken place among Beaumarchais and his friends as they gathered to enjoy each other's company and the fruits of his literary labor.
