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
In this evocative 18th century portrait, Laurent Jean Babille, a distinguished French avocat, or lawyer, in the Parlement de Paris, is depicted in solemn attire, his serious expression conveying the weight of responsibility that came with his esteemed position. The Parlement de Paris was the highest judicial and legislative body in the French monarchy, and its members, including Babille, held significant political power. Despite his many honors and contributions to French legal history, Laurent Jean Babille remains an obscure figure, unjustly overlooked in major historical references such as the Larousse dictionary. This oversight is a shame, as Babille's career spanned a pivotal period in French history, with the Parlement de Paris playing a crucial role in the political landscape during the reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XV. Born in the late 17th or early 18th century, Babille rose through the ranks of the legal profession to become a trusted advisor and advocate for many of the most powerful figures of his time. He was known for his eloquence and legal expertise, and his influence extended beyond the courtroom, as he played a role in shaping French law and policy. This image offers a glimpse into the world of the French legal elite during the Ancien Régime, a time of grandeur and intrigue, when men like Laurent Jean Babille wielded significant power and shaped the course of history. It is a reminder of the rich and complex history that lies hidden in the annals of time, waiting to be rediscovered and celebrated.
