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.

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.

This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," showcases the elegant attire of a woman from the country festival of St. Gorgon, located near Rouen, France. Dated between 1827 and 1885, this engraved image was created by Louis-Marie Lante and published by G. Gatine. The woman is adorned in traditional clothing from the Caux and Normandy regions, renowned for their exquisite Alsatian lace hats. The tall, conical hat, or "bonnet Alsacien," is a striking feature of the woman's ensemble. The intricate lace design, which cascades down the sides and covers the brim, is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistry of the region. The hat is complemented by a simple, high-necked blouse and a full, voluminous skirt, both adorned with delicate lace trim.

The Caux and Normandy regions were known for their elegant and stylish women, who took great pride in their appearance and the intricate details of their clothing. This fashion plate provides a glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating look at the fashion trends and cultural heritage of rural France during the 19th century. The handcolored technique used in this illustration adds an extra layer of beauty and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the woman and her costume to life, transporting us back in time to the country festival of St. Gorgon near Rouen.
