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 print titled "Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar, 1782" we witness a pivotal moment in history during the American Revolutionary War. General Sir George Eliott, mounted on his majestic horse, points with determination towards the fierce battle unfolding between British and Spanish land and sea forces. General Eliott, a courageous commander who played a prominent role in withstanding the Franco-Spanish siege of Gibraltar from 1779 to 1783, is captured here as a symbol of defiance and resilience. His unwavering leadership earned him knighthood and later the title Baron Heathfield in recognition of his heroic efforts. The painting by John Singleton Copley beautifully depicts the chaos and intensity of war. The sky is filled with smoke billowing from burning batteries while soldiers valiantly fight amidst the turmoil. This image serves as a reminder of both the sacrifices made by those involved in conflicts for their country's freedom and also showcases Copley's mastery in capturing historical events. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to that tumultuous period when nations fought for independence. It is an ode to bravery, patriotism, and perseverance against all odds. This print holds not only historical significance but also serves as an enduring testament to human strength in times of adversity.
