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
Step back in time to the grandeur and elegance of Madrid's Apolo Theater on the night of November 23, 1873. This stunning woodcut print captures the excitement and sophistication of the theater's inauguration, with a bustling audience filled with aristocrats, bourgeois, and society elite.
The detailed engraving by Tomas Carlos Capuz and Jose Luis Pellicer transports us to a bygone era where culture and art thrived in European capitals like Madrid. The opulent interior of the theater is alive with activity as men in top hats and women in elaborate gowns fill balconies, boxes, and stalls eagerly awaiting the performance.
As we peer through our lens into this historical moment, we can almost hear the rustle of silk dresses and feel the anticipation in the air. The actors on stage are illuminated by gas lamps as they prepare to entertain their distinguished spectators.
This image is not just a snapshot of a single event but a window into Spanish history during the 19th century. It reminds us of a time when going to the theater was not just entertainment but an opportunity for socializing and networking among Europe's cultural elite.
Let this print transport you back to a time when Madrid's Apolo Theater was at its peak, showcasing some of Spain's finest performances for an audience that appreciated artistry and elegance.
