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.

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
The Advance towards Dongola captures a captivating moment in history, as depicted in this lithographic print by Richard Caton Woodville II. The scene showcases the Egyptian Camel Corps patrolling the vast desert south of Akasheh during the Mahdist War. Intriguingly, the image highlights both the military prowess and unique transportation methods employed during this campaign. The imposing figures of soldiers atop their trusty camels dominate the foreground, showcasing their strength and resilience amidst harsh conditions. Woodville's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of these magnificent animals. From their distinctive humps to their sturdy legs, every aspect is meticulously rendered, capturing not only their physicality but also their importance in navigating treacherous terrains. The barren desert landscape stretches out behind them, emphasizing both the isolation and danger faced by these brave men on their mission towards Dongola. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, evoking a sense of mystery and anticipation for what lies ahead. This lithograph originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in March 1896, providing readers with a glimpse into this significant event unfolding thousands of miles away. Today, it serves as a testament to human determination and adaptability in challenging circumstances.
