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 black and white illustration captures the intricate system of signalling by flag semaphore, a telegraphy method used in the 19th century to convey information over long distances. The image showcases the use of hand-held flags to communicate messages through visual signals, providing a fascinating glimpse into early forms of communication technology.
The detailed depiction highlights the precision and coordination required for successful flag semaphore communication, with individuals strategically positioning their flags to convey specific messages. Each movement of the flags represents a different letter or number, allowing for complex information to be transmitted effectively.
As we admire this historical artwork, we are reminded of the ingenuity and innovation that shaped communication methods in centuries past. The evolution from flag semaphore to modern-day technologies serves as a testament to humanity's constant quest for improved connectivity and efficiency.
This print serves as both a visual delight and an educational tool, offering viewers insight into an important chapter in our technological history. It is a reminder of how far we have come in terms of communication advancements while also honoring the creativity and resourcefulness of those who paved the way for our current systems.
