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
This print showcases Jefferson Columbus Davis, a Union general who served from 1862 to 1867. The artist behind this remarkable piece is J Rogers, and the photograph was taken by Brady. Davis's name may sound familiar as he shares it with the Confederate President, but his actions during the American Civil War set him apart. In a tragic incident on September 29,1862, Davis shot and killed his superior officer, Major General William Bull Nelson, following an argument. Despite this shocking act, Davis managed to escape imprisonment due to the urgent need for experienced commanders in the Union Army. The engraving featured here is from volume III of "The War with the South: A History of the Late Rebellion" by Robert Tomes and Benjamin G Smith. It offers us a glimpse into Davis's appearance during that tumultuous time in history. After his service in the Civil War ended, Davis went on to become Alaska's first commander of the Department of Alaska from 1868 to 1870. This additional role demonstrates his versatility as a military leader. In this black and white portrait, we see Davis donning his military uniform with pride while sporting an impressive beard—a common feature among men of that era. His commanding presence reflects both strength and determination. This print serves as a powerful reminder of one man's complex journey through war and leadership during a pivotal period in American history.
