FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

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 image depicts the renowned French author François Rabelais, born around 1483, in an intimate moment of contemplation. Rabelais is best known for his groundbreaking literary works, which blurred the lines between the sacred and the profane, and challenged societal norms of the time. His most famous works, "Gargantua and Pantagruel," are considered seminal texts in the history of Western literature. In this photograph, Rabelais is seen holding a glass, his gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. The glass, filled with an amber liquid, reflects the warm glow of the fireplace behind him, casting an intriguing play of light and shadow on his face. The atmosphere is one of quiet reflection, as if Rabelais is pondering the depths of human experience and the complexities of the world around him. Rabelais's life was as intriguing as his work. He was a medical doctor by trade, but his literary pursuits eventually overshadowed his medical practice. He was a man of many contradictions - a doctor who wrote bawdy, satirical stories; a monk who mocked the Church; a scholar who reveled in the pleasures of the flesh. His works were banned and burned, yet they continued to be read and copied in secret, ensuring his legacy as a literary icon. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dared to challenge the status quo and leave an indelible mark on the annals of Western literature. The glass in his hand serves as a reminder of the mysteries of life, the passage of time, and the power of the written word to transport us to another world.
