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 vintage print captures a significant moment in Russian foreign policy during the early 20th century. In 1908, Armand Fallieres, the President of France at that time, paid a visit to Russia. The scene depicted here showcases a crowded street with men and women eagerly gathering around a police officer who is addressing them. It is an intriguing illustration from "L'Assiette au Beurre", a popular French satirical magazine of that era. The cartoon portrays an interesting dynamic between authority and public sentiment. The police officer can be seen pointing towards the crowd while delivering an important message - today they are allowed to shout "Vive la Republique" (Long live the Republic). This suggests that there may have been restrictions on expressing such sentiments previously under Tsarist rule. The atmosphere in this image is one of excitement and anticipation as people gather together to exercise their newfound freedom of expression. The presence of the French flag indicates the significance of President Fallieres' visit and highlights the diplomatic relationship between France and Russia during this period. Through its clever use of illustration technique, this artwork offers us a glimpse into history, showcasing not only political developments but also societal conditions at that time. It serves as a reminder of how moments like these shaped Russian foreign policy and influenced public opinion amidst poverty-stricken times.
