17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
This powerful engraving captures the brutal sack of Puerto Principe, Cuba by Captain Henry Morgan in the 19th century. Known for his piracy and privateering, Morgan led his men on a quest for Spanish gold and treasure, resorting to extreme measures to achieve their goals. The town was forced to surrender under threat of violence towards women and children, who were imprisoned in churches while the pirates ransacked their possessions.
The scene depicted is one of chaos and conflict, with smoke rising from firearms as the battle rages on. The engraving brings to life the intense confrontation between Morgan's crew and the townspeople, highlighting the brutality of warfare during this period.
This historical image serves as a reminder of the darker side of human nature, showcasing the lengths that some will go to in pursuit of wealth and power. It is a stark portrayal of violence and greed in a time when piracy reigned supreme on the high seas.
Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the devastation wrought by Captain Henry Morgan and his band of buccaneers as they pillaged Puerto Principe in search of riches.
