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
1. Title: "An Unlikely Encounter: Mistinguett and Voltaire, 1917" This cartoon print depicts an intriguing encounter between two iconic figures of French culture: the renowned entertainer, Mistinguett, and the celebrated philosopher, Voltaire. Set against the backdrop of a grand, ornate stage, the image captures the essence of an unexpected meeting between youth and age, popular entertainment and profound thought. Mistinguett, dressed in an elegant, red gown adorned with feathers, exudes an air of confidence and allure. Her youthful, vibrant energy is palpable as she strikes a playful pose, her hand extended in a gesture of greeting. In stark contrast, Voltaire, with his green coat, white wig, and fur-trimmed robe, represents the wisdom and intellect of the older generation. His stern expression and folded arms convey a sense of skepticism and curiosity as he regards the young entertainer. The stage, adorned with ornate boxes and a red velvet curtain, serves as a symbol of the world of performance and the realm of ideas. The juxtaposition of Mistinguett's comic, humorous performance and Voltaire's serious, philosophical musings highlights the rich tapestry of French culture and the enduring appeal of both entertainment and enlightenment. This charming cartoon print, created in 1917, offers a delightful glimpse into the past and the fascinating intersection of art, philosophy, and popular entertainment. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of these two iconic figures and their continued relevance in shaping the cultural landscape of France.
