FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. 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.

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 evocative reconstruction drawing, titled "Battle Abbey, East Sussex. Battle of Hastings 1066," by renowned illustrator Ivan Lapper, transports us back to a pivotal moment in English history. The image captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Hastings as Norman and Saxon soldiers clash on the battlefield. The Norman soldiers, led by Duke William I of Normandy, are depicted in full armor, their shields emblazoned with distinctive crosses and other symbols. Their longswords and lances are raised, ready to strike. The Saxon soldiers, loyal to King Harold Godwinson, are shown in traditional clothing and armed with shields and spears. The battlefield is a scene of carnage, with fallen soldiers and discarded weapons scattered around. The Battle of Hastings, fought on October 14, 1066, marked the end of Saxon rule in England and the beginning of the Norman Conquest. King Harold was killed during the battle, and Duke William was crowned King of England a few days later. This event had far-reaching consequences for the country, shaping its language, culture, and political structure for centuries to come. The intricate details in this illustration, held by Historic England Photo Library, offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to visualize the battle that changed the course of English history.
