FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the retreat of the Confederate Army over the Potomac River near Williamsport, Maryland during the Civil War's Gettysburg campaign. Painted by Edwin Forbes between 1865 and 1895, this stunning landscape showcases the Southeastern sunset casting its warm glow upon a scene filled with historical significance. In this artwork, we witness General Robert E. Lee's troops retreating after their defeat at Gettysburg in July 1863. The composition beautifully portrays soldiers trudging through the waters of the Potomac River as they make their way towards safety. The artist skillfully captures both the physical exhaustion and emotional weight carried by these men who fought for what they believed in. The painting's mid-19th-century aesthetic transports us back to an era defined by turmoil and division. It serves as a powerful reminder of how war can shape landscapes and lives alike. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of our nation's resilience and capacity for healing. Granger Art on Demand presents us with an opportunity to own a piece of history that encapsulates not only artistic brilliance but also significant cultural importance. This print is more than just an image; it is a window into one of America's most defining moments - a testament to bravery, sacrifice, and ultimately, unity amidst adversity.
