FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 powerful and poignant photograph captures the moment just before the assassination of Jean Jaurès, a towering figure in French political history. Born on September 3, 1859, Jaurès was a French socialist statesman and journalist who founded and edited the influential daily newspaper, L'Humanité. A passionate advocate for peace and social justice, Jaurès was a vocal opponent of militarism and war. On the evening of July 31, 1914, as tensions between France and Germany escalated towards war, Jaurès gathered with fellow politicians and journalists at the Café du Croissant in Paris to discuss the crisis. In this photograph, taken moments before his tragic death, Jaurès is seen in deep conversation with a group of men, including his close friend and fellow socialist leader, Léon Blum. Despite the looming threat of war, Jaurès remained committed to finding a peaceful solution. However, his efforts were cut short when he was assassinated by Raoul Villain, a nationalist extremist, at around 10:15 pm that evening. Jaurès' assassination sent shockwaves through France and the international community, and his death is widely regarded as a turning point in the lead-up to World War I. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Jaurès' legacy as a champion of peace and social justice, and his tragic and untimely end. The image of Jaurès in deep conversation with his colleagues, just hours before his death, underscores the urgency of the political crisis that consumed Europe in 1914, and the high stakes involved in the pursuit of peace.
