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 coloured engraving, titled "View of the Rock and Town of Gibraltar during the Siege of 1779" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous French artist from the 18th century, this print offers a glimpse into the intense battle that unfolded at Gibraltar. The image showcases the mighty fortress of Gibraltar under siege, bombarded both by land and sea by French and Spanish forces. The intricate details bring to life the chaos and tension surrounding this historic event. From the bustling harbor filled with ships to the fortified ramparts protecting the town, every element tells a story of struggle and resilience. As we study this print, we can almost hear cannons firing and feel the tremors caused by explosions. It serves as a reminder of how nations fought for control over strategic locations like Gibraltar during times when empires clashed. Gibraltar's significance as an English colony is evident in this artwork; it was not only defended fiercely but also served as a naval stronghold against attacks from Franco-Spanish forces. The presence of troops, encampments, and armed vessels highlights their determination to protect their territory. Through this coloured engraving held within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we are transported back centuries ago to witness one chapter in Gibraltar's tumultuous history. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, art has always played its part in capturing moments that shape our world today.
