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.

The Nile Expedition, 1884-85 - The Naval Brigade. . . rescuing Sir Charles Wilson, 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Nile Expedition of 1884-85. In this scene, we witness the heroic efforts of the British Naval Brigade under Lord Charles Beresford as they embark on a daring rescue mission to save Sir Charles Wilson. The expedition was launched with the aim of relieving Major-General Charles George Gordon, who was besieged at Khartoum in Sudan. Tragically, by the time the expedition reached its destination just two days after Gordon's arrival, it was too late. The garrison had been mercilessly slaughtered. In this image, we see a group of determined men aboard a naval ship navigating through treacherous waters. They wear pith helmets and military attire that speaks to their bravery and dedication to their mission. Their faces reflect both determination and concern for their fellow countryman's safety. This photograph is not only a visual record but also an embodiment of courage and sacrifice displayed by these individuals serving in the British armed forces during this tumultuous period. It serves as a reminder of the perils faced by those involved in expeditions such as these and pays homage to all those who fought valiantly for their nation's cause. Captured within this single frame is an extraordinary moment from history that continues to resonate with viewers today—a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and unwavering commitment towards aiding others in times of crisis.
