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
This portrait captures Jean Gilbert Victor Fialin, Comte and Duc de Persigny (1808-1872), a prominent French statesman and diplomat. Born into a noble family, Persigny rose through the ranks of French politics and diplomacy, serving as the French ambassador to Britain from 1855. His tenure during this period was marked by significant events, including the Crimean War and the Trent Affair. Persigny's diplomatic skills were put to the test during the Crimean War, as he worked to maintain relations between France and Britain amidst the conflict. His efforts helped to prevent a full-blown war between the two nations, and his diplomacy played a crucial role in the eventual peace settlement. However, Persigny's tenure was not without controversy. The Trent Affair, a diplomatic crisis between the United States and Britain over the capture of two American ships carrying Confederate envoys, tested Persigny's abilities once again. His handling of the situation was criticized by some, but ultimately, he was able to help prevent a war between the United States and Britain. Despite these challenges, Persigny's diplomatic career was marked by his ability to navigate complex political situations with grace and diplomacy. This portrait, taken in 1855, captures the intelligence and poise of a man who played a vital role in shaping international relations during a tumultuous period in European history.
