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 photo print, titled "2nd of May 1808, Insurrection in Madrid" captures a pivotal moment in history. Created by Raffet, Denis-Auguste-Marie in 1839 as an engraving for Histoire de Napoleon by M. de Norvins, this image depicts the Dos de Mayo uprising during the Spanish War of Independence. The scene is filled with intense action and emotion. The viewer is immediately drawn to the central figure - a rider on horseback brandishing a sword, symbolizing violence and power. Surrounding him are people falling to the ground, representing the tragic consequences of this insurrection. In the chaos of battle, one cannot help but notice a fallen priest clutching his crucifix tightly, highlighting not only the religious orders involved but also their anguish amidst such turmoil. The presence of armed forces and troops further emphasizes the gravity of this confrontation. The composition evokes feelings of fear and anxiety as individuals fight for their beliefs and freedom against oppressive forces. This image serves as a powerful reminder of Europe's tumultuous past while showcasing Spain's resilience during these challenging times. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork within its private collection, allowing us to reflect upon our shared human experiences throughout time. It serves as both a testament to our capacity for struggle and triumph over adversity while reminding us never to forget those who sacrificed their lives for what they believed in.
