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 by Currier and Ives, titled "Sergeant Major in the Continental Army. The Escape of Sergeant Champe from an American patrol" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history - October 1780 during the Revolutionary War. The image depicts Sergeant John Champe, a brave soldier who devised an audacious plan to become a double agent in order to capture Benedict Arnold, infamous for his betrayal of the American cause. In this scene, we witness Champe's daring escape from an American patrol as he fakes his desertion. Mounted on a majestic horse and dressed in his Continental Army uniform, Champe races through the countryside of New York with incredible speed and determination. His sword glistens under the sunlight as he tightly grips its hilt, ready to face any challenges that come his way. The lithograph beautifully captures the intensity of this chase; dirt road flying beneath hooves while dust billows behind them. With every stride taken by both man and horse, they inch closer towards their mission's success. As we admire this artwork created by Currier and Ives around 1876, it serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during America's fight for independence. It immortalizes Sergeant Major John Champe's bravery and unwavering commitment to justice – willing to risk everything for freedom.
