Actors Meiji Negative Orient Albumen
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 photograph, taken in the late 1880s in Japan, showcases a group of Japanese actors in their traditional costumes. The image transports us back in time to the Meiji Era (1868-1912), a period of significant cultural and social transformation in Japan. The actors, both male and female, are dressed in elaborate and ornate attire, reflecting the rich history and diverse theatrical traditions of Japan. Their expressions convey a sense of drama and intensity, hinting at the passion and emotion that would have been conveyed in their performances. The use of albumen printing, a popular photographic process during the 19th century, adds to the vintage and historical feel of the image. The negative was likely developed and printed on a wet process, resulting in a high-quality, detailed image that has stood the test of time. The actors' costumes are reminiscent of the traditional garb worn in various forms of Japanese theater, such as Kabuki and Bunraku. The intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and exquisite fabrics showcase the skill and artistry of Japanese craftsmanship during this era. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the world of Japanese theater during the late 19th century, providing a valuable insight into the country's cultural heritage and history. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the Orient and the captivating nature of Japanese art and performance.
