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 captures a significant moment in history, depicting "The Surrender of two Sons of Tipoo Sultan (1792)" during the third Anglo-Mysore War. The image showcases the aftermath of the first siege of Seringapatam, where two sons of Tipoo Sahib, the defeated Sultan of Mysore, were handed over as hostages to Charles Cornwallis. In this engraving from the 19th century, we witness a powerful scene that symbolizes both victory and defeat. The British Empire's military uniformed soldiers stand tall and proud while accepting their prisoners. Charles Cornwallis, Governor General of India and commander-in-chief of the British forces at that time, takes center stage as he receives these valuable hostages. The composition exudes tension and drama as it highlights the contrasting emotions between captors and captives. It serves as a reminder not only of Britain's dominance but also reflects upon the consequences faced by those who dared to challenge its authority. Through this historical artwork created by Henry Singleton with contributions from Tippu Sultan himself and an unknown creator, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Indian history. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is also a testament to human resilience amidst conflict and power struggles. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection curated by Ann Ronan Pictures, we are reminded once again how art can preserve moments that shaped nations while allowing us to reflect on our shared past.
