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
Marie George Picquart: A Pivotal Figure in the Dreyfus Affair of Late 19th Century France This evocative photograph captures the stern yet resolute visage of Marie George Picquart (1852-1914), a French soldier and statesman who became a central figure in one of the most tumultuous periods in French history: the Dreyfus Affair. Born in Strasbourg, Picquart rose through the ranks of the French military, eventually becoming a colonel and commander of the 7th Dragoons. In 1894, he was appointed chief of the military intelligence service, a position that would place him at the heart of the controversy that was to follow. The Dreyfus Affair began when Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army, was wrongfully accused of treason and sentenced to life in prison on Devil's Island. Picquart played a crucial role in the affair when he discovered evidence that exonerated Dreyfus, but his findings were ignored by the military hierarchy. Instead, they fabricated evidence to maintain the original verdict. Despite facing intense pressure and threats to his career and personal safety, Picquart refused to back down. He continued to pursue the truth, eventually bringing the case to the attention of the press and the public. The resulting outcry led to a series of investigations and ultimately, Dreyfus' exoneration in 1899. Picquart's unwavering commitment to justice and his refusal to be swayed by political and social pressures made him a hero to many, and a symbol of the struggle for equality and fairness in France. His actions helped to bring about significant reforms in the military and the judicial system, and his legacy continues to inspire generations of French citizens.
