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 stunning copperplate etching, created by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot in 1875, captures the essence of the extravagant and opulent hairstyles of the 18th century, specifically the iconic pouf hairstyle worn by Marie Antoinette and her court. The woman depicted in this image is adorned with a towering pouf, a massive structure of curls piled high on her head, held in place with an intricate network of pins and combs. The pouf is further embellished with delicate ringlets cascading down the sides of her face, adding to the overall grandeur of the style. The image also showcases the fashionable accessories of the time, with the woman wearing a diadem of pearls and feathers atop her pouf, as well as a long string of pearls draped around her neck. The intricate detailing of the etching allows for a close-up view of the intricate curls and the delicate pearls, giving the viewer a sense of the time and effort that went into creating such elaborate hairstyles. This etching is taken from the "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle," or "Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century," published by Cagnon in Paris in 1875. The original illustration was first published in the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," or "Gallery of French Fashion," between 1778 and 1787. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th century French fashion and the iconic hairstyles that defined the era, most notably the pouf hairstyle made famous by Marie Antoinette.
