31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 takes us back to the 15th century, immersing us in a world of medieval warfare. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a hand cannon or "Baton a feu" as it was known during that era. This portable weapon was an innovation of its time, revolutionizing the way battles were fought. The engraving is based on an illustration found on a tapestry belonging to the Church of Notre Dame de Nantilly in Saumur. It depicts a soldier, his determined gaze fixed on his target, aiming the hand cannon with precision and skill. The intensity in his eyes reflects the gravity of war and emphasizes the importance of this powerful weapon. Paul Lacroix's expertise shines through this detailed wood engraving from his book "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of Renaissance". His meticulous attention to historical accuracy transports us back centuries ago, allowing us to witness firsthand how armaments evolved over time. As we admire this print, we are reminded not only of humanity's ingenuity but also its capacity for conflict. It serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit for power and dominance throughout history. Let this image be a reminder that progress often comes at great cost - both physically and emotionally - as soldiers like these risked their lives on ancient battlefields wielding weapons like this hand cannon.
