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 print captures the dramatic moment of the Capture of the Spanish settlement of Santo Domingo in Hispaniola in 1586. The coloured engraving by Baptista Boazio, a renowned Italian cartographer, showcases an important event during the Anglo-Spanish War. The image depicts a bustling harbour filled with ships from an English expedition fleet led by Sir Francis Drake. These 23 vessels embarked on a daring voyage from Plymouth to Portsmouth, exploring and expanding their influence in the West Indies. The scene is alive with activity as sailors navigate through uncharted waters, guided by ancient compasses and sea charts. Intriguingly, amidst this maritime exploration lies evidence of cultural encounters between Europeans and Native Americans. American Indians are seen observing the capture from afar, highlighting the significance of this historical event for both sides. The coastal fortification stands tall against a backdrop of lush greenery and palm trees typical of Hispaniola's tropical landscape. This visual juxtaposition symbolizes European colonial ambitions clashing with nature's untamed beauty. With its rich detail and intricate engravings, this print offers us a glimpse into Elizabethan-era naval warfare and England's quest for dominance in the New World. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity, courage, and ambition during an era defined by exploration and conquests across vast oceans.
