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 image transports us back in time to a performance of Georges Bizet's iconic opera, Carmen, in the early 20th century. The scene depicted here showcases the intense passion and drama that unfolds between the titular character, Carmen, and Don Jose, a soldier who becomes infatuated with her. Carmen, portrayed as a fiery and independent gypsy woman, is seen here in the midst of her seductive dance, surrounded by the lush greenery of a forest. Don Jose, dressed in his military uniform, gazes at her intently, unable to resist her allure. The passionate exchange between the two is palpable, as the orchestra plays the famous "Toreador Song," setting the stage for the tumultuous events that will unfold throughout the opera. First performed in Paris in 1875, Carmen is considered one of the greatest works in the operatic repertoire. Bizet's score, which includes the popular "Habanera" and "Toreador Song," is renowned for its rich melodies and complex harmonies. The opera's themes of love, jealousy, and fate continue to resonate with audiences today, making it a timeless masterpiece of the operatic world. This photograph, taken around 1910, offers a glimpse into the history of Carmen and the world of grand opera. It is a reminder of the power of music and drama to transport us to another time and place, and to evoke strong emotions within us.
