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, created by Auguste Couder in 1836, depicts a pivotal moment in history - the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and significance of this decisive battle during the American War of Independence. In the foreground, we see French General Jean de Rochambeau and American General George Washington standing side by side, deep in conversation. Their expressions are resolute as they give their final orders for the impending attack. Both men exude authority and determination, symbolizing the unity between France and America in their fight against British oppression. The scene is set within a military tent adorned with vibrant colors, showcasing Couder's attention to detail. The presence of these two esteemed commanders amidst a backdrop of soldiers further emphasizes their crucial roles as leaders on this historic day. Beyond them lies an encampment filled with tents stretching into the distance, representing both armies preparing for battle. This composition highlights not only the scale but also the complexity of warfare during this era. The defeat of British forces under Charles Cornwallis is imminent; it looms over every brushstroke within this artwork. Through his masterful use of oil paint, Couder brings to life a moment that forever changed the course of history - one that led to victory for America and ultimately paved its path towards independence. This print serves as a powerful reminder of courage, sacrifice, and resilience exhibited by those who fought for freedom during this tumultuous period in our shared past.
