When Franklin arrived in France in December 1776 to negotiate for aid for the American revolutionary war, he was already a celebrity. His simple dress and refusal to wear a wig made an impression in intellectual circles and elsewhere. Franklin lived at Passy in a house provided by Jacques Donatien Le Ray de Chaumont who commissioned a terra-cotta medallion with his profile as well as our portrait, which was exhibited in 1779. The original frame includes the attributes of Liberty, Peace, and Victory, and is accompanied by the simple Latin inscription VIR (man).

Furthermore, the acrylic art print offers a good alternative to dibond or canvas prints. Your own replica of the work of art is being manufactured thanks to state-of-the-art UV print technology. This creates the image effect of vivid, impressive colors.

Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without the help of any wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.
