FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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.

The Prussian Needle-Gun and the Snider-Enfield Rifle - A Glimpse into 19th Century Military Advancements
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases two groundbreaking firearms of their time - the Prussian Needle-Gun and the Snider-Enfield Rifle. The print, now part of a private collection, offers us a fascinating insight into the world of weaponry during this era. The illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 28,1866. It presents a vertical view that allows us to examine these innovative rifles in detail. On one side, we see the section showing the Snider-Enfield Rifle with its breech-loading mechanism and cartridge set-up. This patterned weapon revolutionized military tactics as it enabled faster reloading times compared to traditional muzzle-loaded rifles. On the other side is an exploded view of the Prussian Needle-Gun, showcasing its unique firing principle. This original Prussian invention utilized a needle-like striker to ignite cartridges instead of conventional percussion caps or flintlocks. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight not only the craftsmanship but also emphasize how these weapons played pivotal roles during significant conflicts like Austro-Prussian War (1864) and revolutions such as those occurring in Europe between 1848 and beyond. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where innovation
