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 Soldiers of Afonso Albuquerque Conquer Aden - A Glimpse into the Legacy of a Great Portuguese General
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the fearless soldiers of Afonso Albuquerque as they launch an audacious attack on Aden in February 1513. Illustrated by Tancredi Scarpelli for the "History of Navigators" in 1936, this color lithograph showcases the remarkable talent and attention to detail that brings this historical event to life. Afonso de Albuquerque, known as Albuquerque the Great, was not only a renowned Portuguese general but also a statesman and empire builder. His conquests and exploration efforts left an indelible mark on world history. In this image, we witness his army scaling the fortified walls of Aden with determination and courage. The imposing city walls stand tall against the backdrop of Arabian architecture, symbolizing both resistance and opportunity for colonial expansion. The soldiers carry crosses proudly on their armor, representing their unwavering faith amidst adversity. As one gazes upon this scene, it becomes evident that this assault marked a significant turning point in imperial ambitions. It exemplifies both Albuqerque's military prowess and his strategic vision for expanding Portuguese influence across Eastern lands. Through Scarpelli's artistry combined with Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are transported back to an era where exploration was paramount and empires were built through sheer willpower. This print serves as a testament to the bravery exhibited by these soldiers who fought valiantly under Afonso Albuquerque's command during their quest for dominance in Yemen's port city - Aden.
