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 handcolored lithograph captures an enchanting moment from an opera performance in Cochinchina, the southern region of Vietnam, during the early 19th century. The image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, a significant ethnographic and anthropological work published in Meissen, Germany, around 1835-1840. The opera scene is set against a backdrop of intricately designed stage decorations, with performers in elaborate costumes and traditional makeup. The central figure, a female performer, gracefully sings into a delicate fan, her voice carrying over the orchestral accompaniment. Surrounding her are musicians playing various instruments, including a two-stringed instrument called the dan tranh and a drum, while other performers engage in animated dialogue or dance. The opera tradition in Cochinchina was a significant part of the region's cultural heritage, reflecting its rich history and diverse influences. This performance showcases the unique blend of indigenous and Chinese elements that characterized the art form during this period. The elaborate costumes, intricate makeup, and expressive body language of the performers offer a glimpse into the customs and traditions of Cochinchina's people. This image not only serves as a visual record of an important aspect of Cochinchina's history but also highlights the region's artistic and cultural significance. The handcolored lithograph technique adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of ethnographic or historical materials.
