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
In this 19th-century wood engraving, we are transported back to the year 1867, where Emperor Napoleon III of France is inspecting Krupp cannons at the International Exposition in Paris. The image captures a significant moment in history, three years before the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. Amidst a crowd of onlookers, our attention is drawn to a German soldier who stands tall and proud as he salutes his emperor. Dressed in military attire with precision and discipline, he symbolizes the tension that would soon escalate between these two nations. The imposing presence of the Krupp cannons adds an air of power and might to the scene. These formidable artillery pieces were renowned for their strength and destructive capabilities. As Napoleon III examines them closely, one can only wonder if he foresaw their role in shaping future conflicts. This wood engraving beautifully encapsulates both political and military dynamics during this era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst international exhibitions aimed at fostering peace and unity, underlying tensions could not be ignored. As we gaze upon this historical print from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are reminded of how seemingly insignificant moments can foreshadow monumental events yet to come.
