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 19th-century engraving, titled "Abraham Lincoln and His Supporters," depicts the United States' 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd of his Republican Party supporters. The image, published in the French journal L'Illustration Journal Universel in 1860, captures the intensity and passion of the political climate leading up to the presidential elections that year. Lincoln, shown in the center, is depicted as a determined and resolute figure, holding a torch aloft. The torch, a symbol of enlightenment and progress, represents the hope and optimism that Lincoln's supporters placed in him as a candidate. The torch also serves as a visual link to the Statue of Liberty, which was a gift from France to the United States and was completed around the same time, further emphasizing the transatlantic connections and international interest in the American political process. The supporters, depicted in the background, are a diverse group of Americans from various walks of life. They hold torches and American flags, symbolizing their commitment to Lincoln and their belief in the Republican Party's platform of anti-slavery and economic growth. The image captures the spirit of unity and determination among the supporters, who were united in their belief that Lincoln was the best candidate to lead the country through its challenges. This engraving is a testament to the historical significance of the 1860 presidential elections, which marked a turning point in American history. Lincoln's election paved the way for the Civil War and the eventual abolition of slavery, making him one of the most iconic figures in American history. The image also highlights the international interest and influence on American politics during this period, as evidenced by its publication in a French journal.
