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.

The Battle of Kegs - A Glimpse into Revolutionary War Chaos
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "The Battle of Kegs" takes us back to the turbulent days of the American Revolutionary War. The scene depicted is that of January 6th, 1778, in Philadelphia Harbor – a pivotal incident during this historic conflict. Intriguingly composed by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, this print captures the chaos and intensity of battle with remarkable detail. A galleon and smaller boats engage in combat amidst billowing smoke and exploding barrels. The quay serves as a backdrop for this dramatic clash between opposing forces. The inclusion of barrels adds an intriguing element to the composition. These vessels were filled with explosives by American patriots who sought to disrupt British naval operations along the East Coast. The resulting explosions created havoc on both sides, making this particular engagement one for the history books. Through skillful drawing techniques, the artist brings life to every stroke, conveying a sense of action and urgency within this historical moment. This lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by bravery and sacrifice as soldiers fought valiantly for their respective causes. Now preserved in private collection thanks to Ken Welsh's dedication to preserving historical art pieces like these, "The Battle of Kegs" continues to captivate audiences today. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded once again that history is not just words on paper but rather vivid images that tell stories
