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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 woodcut print, titled "Persian Bombardier," is an intriguing glimpse into the historical customs and traditions of the 19th century Persian world. The image, taken from Auguste Wahlen's renowned publication "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845, showcases a Persian bombardier, an artilleryman specialized in firing large caliber cannons, mounted on the hump of a camel. The bombardier, dressed in a fur-lined jacket and pantalons, wears a distinctive turban, or furhat, adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. His attire is completed with a jean jacket and a pair of trousers, both featuring traditional Persian designs. The bombardier's focus is on the cannon, which is skillfully mounted on the saddle of the camel. The cannon, with its intricate details and ornate decorations, is a testament to the advanced military technology of the time. The woodcut print, created by the skilled hands of Jean-François Nicolas Loumyer, masterfully captures the essence of the Persian culture and the daily life of its people during the 19th century. The image provides a unique perspective into the rich history and traditions of a civilization that has left an indelible mark on the world. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the past, making it a must-have for any history or art enthusiast.
