FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
The print titled "Cutting off the Boers Retreat, General French's Remarkable Position at Colesberg, from Coles Kop" captures a pivotal moment during the Second Boer War. The image showcases the strategic brilliance of General French as he effectively cuts off the retreat of the Boers in Colesberg, South Africa. In this lithograph by Frederic Villiers, we witness the intense military action and topography that defined this historic battle. From the foreground to the background, every detail is meticulously depicted - from British Lyddite guns bursting with power to horses galloping through Gibraltar Kop. The composition also highlights significant landmarks such as Norvals Pont Railroad and Philiptown Wagon Road. We can see troops defending their positions while New Zealanders and Household Cavalry play crucial roles in recapturing key areas. This engraving not only portrays an important event but also showcases Villiers' exceptional talent for capturing dynamic scenes with precision. The intricate details bring life to each element within the frame - from soldiers maneuvering on kopjes (hills) to smoke billowing out of lyddite shells exploding over enemy camps. Overall, this remarkable print serves as a testament to General French's tactical genius and pays tribute to all those who fought bravely during this tumultuous period in history.
