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 lithograph captures the intense Battle between the Monitor and Merrimac in 1862, a pivotal moment in American history. Published in A Brief History of the United States by A. S. Barnes & Co. in 1885, this print offers a glimpse into one of the most notable naval battles during the American War of Independence. The image showcases two formidable vessels engaged in fierce combat on Hampton Roads. The Monitor, an innovative ironclad warship commissioned by the Union Navy, stands resolute against its adversary, the Confederate ship Merrimac (also known as CSS Virginia). This maritime engagement marked a turning point for naval warfare as it was one of the first encounters between ironclads. With intricate detail and skilled artistry, this lithograph brings to life the intensity and chaos of battle at sea. The smoke billows from cannons firing relentlessly while waves crash against these mighty ships locked in mortal combat. As we gaze upon this historic scene through time's lens, we are reminded of both courage and sacrifice displayed by those who fought valiantly aboard these vessels. It serves as a testament to America's resilience during times of conflict and highlights how innovation can shape military strategies. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable artwork invites us to reflect on our nation's past while honoring those who bravely defended their ideals amidst tumultuous waters.
