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.

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
Mme Cheri Lesueur, born Anna Cizos in 1826, graces this handcoloured lithograph as Suzanne in George Sand's "Le Pressoir" at the Gymnase Dramatique. Cheri Lesueur's theatrical journey began when she married the actor Lesueur in 1852, but her roots in the world of theatre ran deeper. She was the sister of the renowned actress Rose-Marie Cizos, who had already made a name for herself on the Parisian stage. In this exquisite portrayal, Cheri Lesueur embodies the character Suzanne, a role made famous by George Sand, the celebrated French novelist and playwright. Sand's works often challenged societal norms and gender roles, and "Le Pressoir" was no exception. The play, first performed in 1852, tells the story of Suzanne, a woman who disguises herself as a man to gain employment in a vineyard and ultimately falls in love with her employer. This evocative image, produced by Alexandre Lacauchie for the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris in 1853, offers a glimpse into the rich history of French theatre. The meticulous handcolouring brings the intricate details of Cheri Lesueur's costume to life, transporting us back to the mid-19th century and the world of George Sand's groundbreaking plays.
