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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Captain Alfred Dreyfus (1859-1935) is seen standing rigidly before the military tribunal during his re-trial at Rennes, France, in 1899. The Dreyfus Affair, a controversial and deeply divisive episode in French history, had begun in 1894 when Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French Army, was falsely accused of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island. The initial verdict was based on forged evidence, and the case quickly became a cause célèbre, with many prominent intellectuals and politicians rallying to Dreyfus's defense. In 1896, new evidence came to light, leading to a retrial, which is depicted in this image. The scene at Rennes was tense and dramatic. Thousands of people gathered outside the courthouse, with both supporters and detractors of Dreyfus making their voices heard. Inside, the military tribunal, presided over by General Ferrié, heard testimony from key witnesses and reviewed the evidence. Despite the mounting evidence of Dreyfus's innocence, the military remained unconvinced, and the outcome of the trial remained uncertain. The photograph captures the intense focus of the proceedings, with Dreyfus's expression betraying a mixture of determination and anxiety. The re-trial at Rennes marked a turning point in the Dreyfus Affair. Although Dreyfus was ultimately found guilty and sentenced to another ten years in prison, the affair had galvanized public opinion and led to significant reforms in the French military and justice systems. The image of Dreyfus standing before the tribunal at Rennes remains a powerful symbol of the struggle for justice and the enduring power of public opinion.
