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 showcases the Smoothbore. 656 in percussion pistol, a remarkable weapon from 1873. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this pistol was specifically made for the Indian Cavalry under the East India Government. Its origins can be traced back to Birmingham's renowned Gun Trade. The image captures every intricate detail of this historic firearm, highlighting its barrel, trigger, and military insignia. As a symbol of British imperialism and colonial power during the Victorian era, this pistol represents an important chapter in history. Displayed at the National Army Museum in London, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. The gun's craftsmanship is evident through its polished metalwork and elegant design. With India being an integral part of the British Empire during that time period, this pistol serves as a reminder of Britain's influence on global affairs. It reflects not only military prowess but also political control over territories far beyond their own shores. As we admire this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, let us reflect upon how objects like these pistols played a role in shaping our world today – reminding us of both triumphs and complexities within our shared history.
