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 18th-century print captures the historic Pont Notre-Dame bridge in Paris, France, as it was once adorned with the thrilling spectacle of water-jousting on the Seine River. Dated back to 1751, this print by Raguenet showcases the bridge in all its grandeur, with the intricately designed arches and the bustling activity on both sides. Water-jousting, a popular pastime during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, was still alive and well in the 18th century, as evidenced by this image. Barges, adorned with colorful pavilions and armed with long lances, are seen engaged in a fierce competition on the river. The knights on board, dressed in full armor, are poised to deliver a decisive blow to their opponents. The crowd on the bridge and the banks of the Seine, dressed in their finest attire, are fully engaged in the excitement of the event. The print also offers a glimpse into the daily life of Parisians during this era. The bridge is bustling with activity, with people going about their business, children playing, and merchants selling their wares. The Seine River, with its clear waters and picturesque boats, adds to the idyllic scene. This historical print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the fascinating history of its iconic landmarks. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of Paris in the 18th century and to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of the Pont Notre-Dame bridge during this period.
