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.

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 hand-colored woodcut print depicts the iconic "Fall of the Bastille" during the French Revolution. The scene showcases a pivotal moment in history, capturing the intense chaos and violence that unfolded on July 14,1789. In this vintage illustration, we witness a massive mob storming the formidable walls of the Bastille prison in Paris. With their fists raised and determination etched on their faces, these brave revolutionaries are fighting for freedom and justice against an oppressive regime. The artist skillfully portrays the clash between traditional authority and a passionate uprising. The assault is marked by combat and riot as rebels engage in fierce battle with guards defending their stronghold. This image serves as a powerful reminder of how ordinary citizens can unite to challenge tyranny when pushed to their limits. The Fall of the Bastille symbolizes not only an act of liberation but also represents a turning point in European history. It ignited further protests and revolt across France, ultimately leading to profound political changes that shaped modern Europe. As we gaze upon this historic illustration from over two centuries ago, it serves as both a testament to human resilience and an enduring reminder that even amidst lawlessness, there is potential for positive change through collective action.
