1588 Failed Failure Invasion Spanish Armada
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 print captures a pivotal moment in history as Philip II, the ruler of Spain, receives news of the defeat of the Armada. Illustrated by John Seymour Lucas and featured in Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation from around 1923, this lithograph transports us back to the dramatic events of the late 16th century. Philip II is depicted kneeling in prayer inside a church, his face etched with concern and disappointment. The weight of failure hangs heavy upon him as he learns about the Spanish Armada's unsuccessful invasion attempt against England in 1588. This engraving beautifully conveys both his vulnerability and his devotion to seeking solace through prayer during this challenging time. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail, from Philip II's regal attire to the somber ambiance within the church. The image serves as a reminder that even powerful rulers are not immune to setbacks and disappointments. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported into an era defined by political tensions and military conflicts. It reminds us that behind every grand narrative lies human emotions – fear, hope, triumphs, and defeats. This print serves as a testament to our shared history while also highlighting how art can immortalize significant moments for generations to come.
