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
1. Title: Dreyfus Re-Trial Court: A Pivotal Moment in French History (1899). This evocative photograph captures the Dreyfus Re-Trial Court in session at the Palais de Justice in Rennes, France, in 1899. The Dreyfus Affair, a significant moment in French history, unfolded over several years, with the initial trial of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish French army captain, taking place in 1894. Dreyfus was wrongfully convicted of treason, based on fabricated evidence, sparking a national and international outcry. The re-trial, held in Rennes, was a pivotal moment in the affair. The new evidence, including the discovery of the "canard judiciaire" (judicial swan song), a forged document that had been used to convict Dreyfus, was presented. The trial was presided over by the newly appointed Chief Prosecutor, Maurice Barres, who was known for his anti-Semitic views. However, the defense team, led by the renowned lawyer, Émile Zola, presented a compelling case, leading to Dreyfus's acquittal. The photograph shows the courtroom in full swing, with the judge, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and other legal personnel in their respective positions. The intense focus on the proceedings is palpable, as the fate of Alfred Dreyfus hung in the balance. The Dreyfus Affair marked a turning point in French history, leading to the eventual dismantling of the old regime and the emergence of a more modern, secular, and democratic France. This photograph is a testament to the power of the legal system to correct past injustices and uphold the principles of truth and justice. It is a reminder of the importance of a fair and impartial trial, and the role of courageous individuals, such as Émile Zola, in standing up for the truth. The Dreyfus Affair remains a significant chapter in the annals of French history, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the courtroom where a pivotal moment in that history unfolded.
