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 print showcases Emil Huenten's masterpiece, "The Battle of Mars de la Tour on the 16th August 1870". Painted in 1878 using oil on canvas, this artwork is housed at the Bismarck-Museum in Friedrichsruh, Germany. The intense scene depicted in this painting is known as "Der Todesritt von Mars de la Tour" or "The Death Ride of Mars de la Tour". Intriguingly detailed and filled with action, the painting captures a pivotal moment during the Franco-Prussian War. The viewer is immediately drawn to the chaotic battlefield where soldiers engage fiercely amidst a sea of horses and weapons. The artist skillfully portrays both sides locked in combat, their determination evident through their expressions and body language. Bloodshed stains the ground as brave men fight for their respective nations: France and Germany. This military engagement exemplifies the brutality of war while also highlighting its impact on innocent animals caught up in the chaos. "The Battle of Mars de la Tour" serves as a poignant reminder of historical events that shaped Europe's landscape. It immortalizes not only an important conflict but also pays tribute to those who fought valiantly for their countries. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to that fateful day in August 1870 when history was written with bloodshed and heroism intertwined on horseback.
