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 by Sir John Tenniel, titled "Beggar my Neighbour," offers a satirical commentary on the escalating naval arms race between France and Great Britain during the 19th century. The image depicts Emperor Napoleon III of France making significant additions to his navy, prompting a corresponding increase in naval power by Great Britain.
Tenniel's intricate black and white illustration captures the tension and competition between the two nations, with subtle humor woven throughout. The title itself alludes to a card game where one player gains at the expense of others, reflecting the strategic maneuvering and political gamesmanship at play in international relations.
As an iconic cartoonist for Punch magazine, Tenniel was known for his sharp wit and keen observations of society and politics. In this piece, he skillfully conveys complex geopolitical dynamics through clever visual storytelling.
Displayed as part of a private collection, this print serves as both a historical artifact and a timeless work of art that continues to resonate with viewers today. It reminds us of the enduring relevance of political satire in shedding light on power struggles and diplomatic tensions that shape our world.
