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 pivotal moment in history as Vercingetorix, the brave Gallic chieftain, surrenders to Julius Caesar. Dating back to the 19th century, this chromolithograph showcases the dramatic scene of Vercingetorix's defeat and subsequent capture by Caesar at Alesia near Dijon in France around 46 BC. The image portrays Vercingetorix dressed in his warrior attire, donning a helmet that symbolizes his Celtic heritage. In contrast, Julius Caesar stands tall and regal on his throne, representing Roman power and authority. This clash of cultures is vividly depicted through their contrasting appearances. After being taken to Rome as a trophy of conquest, Vercingetorix endured humiliation as he was paraded before the Roman citizens as evidence of their empire's greatness. Ultimately, his fate was sealed with his execution. This card from a series produced by the chocolate factory at the Monastery of Aiguebelle serves not only as an artistic collectible but also offers insight into ancient warfare and political dynamics during this period. The vibrant colors used in this chromolithograph bring life to these historical figures and transport us back to a time when empires clashed for dominance. As we gaze upon this print today, it reminds us of the struggles faced by individuals like Vercingetorix who fought valiantly against powerful forces but were ultimately overcome by superior might.
