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 hauntingly beautiful photograph captures the enigmatic and troubled figure of Gerard de Nerval, the renowned French poet, in the final year of his life. Born in Paris in 1808, Nerval's life was marked by a profound sense of melancholy and an unquenchable thirst for the exotic and the supernatural. His eccentricities and rumors of madness only added to his allure and intrigue. Despite his literary successes, Nerval's personal life was marred by tragedy and despair. He was known to have suffered from bouts of depression and delusions, and his relationships were tumultuous and short-lived. In 1854, he was admitted to a mental institution, and in the following year, on January 27, 1855, he took his own life by throwing himself into the Seine River. This photograph, taken in the last year of his life, shows a man who appears both pensive and resigned. His piercing gaze and disheveled appearance hint at the turmoil that was consuming him. The soft focus and muted tones of the image add to the sense of mystery and melancholy that surrounds Nerval's legacy. Despite his difficult and often tragic life, Nerval's poetry continues to captivate readers around the world. His works, which explore themes of love, death, and the supernatural, are considered some of the most beautiful and haunting in the French literary canon. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and enigmatic figure that was Gerard de Nerval.
