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

The image showcases the emblematic American snake, which was used on their flag prior to the stars and stripes, coiling around British soldiers led by Burgoyne and Cornwallis during their surrender. Through this satirical artwork, Gillray brilliantly lampoons the British war effort. The verse printed below the image reflects the widespread sympathy that existed in England for the American cause at that time. It serves as a reminder of how this conflict resonated beyond national borders, capturing hearts and minds across continents. London, Britain in April 1782 was undoubtedly an important backdrop for such a powerful piece of art.

The intricate details of Gillray's cartoon are beautifully preserved here, allowing viewers to appreciate his artistic genius while also gaining insight into one of America's defining moments.
