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 exquisite handcolored lithograph captures the elegant and sophisticated style of Parisian fashion during the Directory period (1795-1799) in France. The central figure is a woman dressed in the height of fashion, wearing a stunning green full skirt made of silk. The skirt is adorned with intricate floral edging, adding an air of elegance and refinement to the outfit. Atop her head, she wears a striking feathered bonnet, its plumes cascading down her back in a graceful manner. The bonnet is a testament to the popularity of feathers in fashion during this time, which were often used to add height and volume to hairstyles and headpieces. The woman's upper body is covered by a scarlet velvet jacket, the rich red color adding a bold and dramatic touch to the outfit. The jacket's sleeves are long and full, adding to the overall volume and grandeur of the ensemble. The illustration is the work of Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, a renowned French artist and fashion designer of the time. The print was produced in Paris in 1865, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends of the late 18th century. The handcoloring adds an extra layer of detail and beauty to the illustration, making it a true work of art. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Parisian fashion during the Directory period, a time of great change and upheaval in French history. The woman's elegant and sophisticated attire stands in stark contrast to the political turmoil and social upheaval that was taking place in France at the time, making it a captivating and intriguing representation of the era.
