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. 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 exquisite lithograph depicts a woman in a stunning fancy dress costume inspired by the pink carnation of Nice, or 'oeillet de Nice.' The intricately detailed print, created in Paris in 1928, showcases the woman's elegant collar and full, flowing skirt adorned with delicate pink petals that seem to blend seamlessly with the fabric. The use of pochoir stencil handcoloring adds a vibrant and rich dimension to the image, bringing the pink hue of the carnation to life. During the 1920s, the era of jazz age glamour and masquerade parties, such elaborate and creative costumes were a popular trend. The pink carnation of Nice was a symbol of elegance and sophistication, making it an ideal inspiration for fancy dress attire. The pink carnation, or 'dianthus caryophyllus,' is a native flower of the Mediterranean region, particularly in Nice, France. It is known for its sweet fragrance and delicate pink petals, which have been admired for centuries. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the pink carnation became a popular motif in art and fashion, often used to represent the city of Nice and its rich cultural heritage. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the pink carnation and the fashionable trends of the 1920s. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of glamour, elegance, and creativity.
