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 evocative photograph captures Emile Zola, the renowned French novelist and advocate for justice, in a rare moment of domesticity with his family in 1899. Born on February 2, 1840, Zola was a leading figure of the naturalist literary movement and a vocal supporter of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer wrongfully accused of treason in the infamous Dreyfus Affair. The image, taken during the height of the controversy, shows Zola seated at a table, surrounded by his wife Alexandrine and their children, Jean and Joanne. The warm and intimate setting contrasts starkly with the tumultuous political climate of the time. Despite facing criticism and even threats to his personal safety for his public stance on the Dreyfus case, Zola remains steadfast, his gaze fixed on the future and the pursuit of truth and justice. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of a man who dedicated his life to the written word and the fight for the marginalized. The image, dated 1899, captures a moment of respite amidst the turmoil, a testament to the enduring power of family and the unwavering commitment to one's beliefs. Emile Zola's legacy as a writer and a champion for the oppressed continues to resonate, and this photograph stands as a powerful symbol of his indomitable spirit. The image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a valuable historical resource, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who left an indelible mark on French literature and history.
