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
James Gillray's 'Cartoon, L Assemblee Nationale,' or 'Grand Cooperative Meeting at St. Anne's Hill,' is a satirical print from 1804 that offers a harsh commentary on the political climate of the time, specifically in relation to the French Revolution and its influence on British politics. The scene depicts a reception given by Charles James Fox and his wife, with numerous aristocrats and politicians in attendance, including the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert. The title "Grand Cooperative Meeting" is a playful reference to the French National Assembly, with the gathering at St. Anne's Hill serving as a caricature of the political elite attempting to mimic the revolutionary spirit. The visual references to the French Revolution are abundant, with the attendees dressed in revolutionary garb and the Prince of Wales holding a tricolor flag. The print is filled with humor and ridicule, with many of the attendees depicted as plump and fat, highlighting their perceived decadence and excess. The use of satire is evident in the exaggerated features and expressions of the characters, as well as the subtle jabs at specific individuals and political factions. The presence of the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert, who were involved in a controversial relationship at the time, adds an extra layer of intrigue and scandal to the scene. The print offers a snapshot of the social and political landscape of the early 19th century, with the upper class attempting to navigate the complexities of revolution and political change. Overall, 'Cartoon, L Assemblee Nationale' is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the political climate of the time and the role of satire in shaping public opinion.
