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 print takes us back to the bustling streets of Les Halles, Paris in 1786. The image showcases the famous French food market that was once at the heart of culinary trade in France. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and an abundance of fresh produce, Les Halles was a haven for both locals and tourists seeking a taste of authentic French cuisine. However, as time went on, urbanization took its toll on this historic market. In the 1960s, Les Halles was relocated to the suburbs, marking a significant shift in Parisian culture. This move aimed to modernize the city's infrastructure but also sparked debates about preserving tradition amidst progress. Thiery Guide des Amateurs et des Etranger Voyageurs a Paris provides us with this remarkable snapshot frozen in time—a testament to an era when Les Halles thrived as a hub for gastronomic delights. The photograph captures not only the physicality of this iconic marketplace but also hints at the lively interactions between vendors and customers. Today, while no longer located within central Paris, Les Halles continues to be celebrated as part of France's rich culinary heritage. It serves as a reminder that even though places may change over time, their significance can endure through photographs like these—inviting us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come.
