1801 Constitution Copy Haitian Juillet
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 evocative image captures a pivotal moment in Haitian history as General Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the first ruler of independent Haiti, holds a printed copy of the newly adopted Constitution of 1801. The date, le 1er juillet 1801, is inscribed at the bottom of the document, marking the establishment of the world's first independent black nation. Dessalines stands proudly before an assembly of Haitian soldiers and citizens, with a bishop and an image of God or Moses in the heavens looking down upon them. The scene exudes a sense of unity and determination, as the people of Haiti gathered to affirm their newfound sovereignty and forge a path towards a better future. The printed Constitution, a testament to their resilience and perseverance, is held aloft as a symbol of hope and progress. This powerful image encapsulates the spirit of the Haitian Revolution and the indomitable will of its people, who defied the odds and created a nation that would inspire generations to come.
