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.

This print captures a significant moment in history - the Marchand expedition's fierce battle at M'tila Voula in January 1897. Led by Jean-Baptiste Marchand, a brave French army officer, this extraordinary expedition embarked on an arduous journey across Africa from the mouth of the Congo to Fashoda (Kodok) in Sudan. The image showcases an encampment amidst the African wilderness during this perilous mission. In vivid color and intricate detail, we witness soldiers clad in military uniforms engaged in intense combat. With rifles and guns raised, they valiantly defend their position against unseen adversaries. The tricolour flag of France proudly flutters above them as a symbol of their nation's presence on foreign soil. Tents dotting the landscape provide temporary shelter for these courageous explorers who have ventured far from home. Each man plays his part with unwavering determination, embodying both strength and resilience. This lithograph serves as a testament to not only Marchand's leadership but also to the spirit of exploration that characterized 19th-century colonialism. It reminds us of the immense challenges faced by those who sought to expand their country's influence beyond its borders. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment where men fought bravely for their ideals and ambitions amidst unfamiliar terrain.
