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.

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 lithograph, titled "The Transvaal War, Difficulties of Transport, a Field Battery fording a River in Flood" transports us back to the tumultuous era of the Second Boer War in South Africa. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II and now part of a private collection, this print captures the dramatic challenges faced by military forces during this conflict. In this scene, we witness a field battery attempting to cross a raging river that has been swollen by floodwaters. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as he skillfully depicts horses struggling against the powerful current while soldiers valiantly guide their artillery through treacherous waters. The intensity and danger are palpable as they navigate these difficult conditions. Woodville's illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on November 4th, 1899. Through his artistry, he brings to life the hardships and obstacles encountered during wartime transportation. This engraving serves as an important historical document that sheds light on the challenges faced by troops during conflicts like the Transvaal War. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of both the bravery and resilience exhibited by those who fought in such wars throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder of how human determination can overcome even nature's most formidable obstacles.
