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 engraving, titled "The Attack on Saarbruck by the French" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the intensity of the Franco-Prussian War. The scene depicts a pivotal event during this conflict that unfolded in Saarbrucken, Germany. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported to a time when tensions ran high between France and Germany. The image showcases the chaos and violence of war as French forces launch their assault on Saarbrucken. The composition is filled with intricate details that bring life to every aspect of the battle. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on August 20th, 1870 - an era when illustrated papers were at their peak popularity. It serves as both a visual documentation of an important news item from that time and an anecdote about European history. Through this print, we catch glimpses of German culture while witnessing France's determination to expand its influence beyond its own borders. This piece not only represents a clash between nations but also reflects broader themes such as power struggles within Europe and the formation of alliances. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving stands as a testament to human resilience amidst conflict and reminds us of our shared European heritage.
