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 photograph, titled "Allies - Brave Belgium" by Archibald Wells, captures a poignant moment in the early days of World War One. Taken in December 1914, the image depicts a brave Belgian cavalryman astride his horse against the backdrop of a combined Belgian and Union Jack flag. The Union Jack represents the allegiance of the United Kingdom, while the Belgian flag symbolizes the courage and resilience of the Belgian people in the face of the German invasion. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the combined loyalties and unity between the Belgian and British forces during this pivotal period in history. The cavalryman's determined gaze and steady posture convey a sense of unwavering commitment to the cause of freedom and democracy. The horse, too, seems to understand the gravity of the situation, its ears pricked forward and eyes alert. The backdrop of the flags adds a historical depth to the image, emphasizing the significance of the alliance between these two nations. The photograph was taken in 1914, a year that saw some of the most brutal and devastating battles of the war. Yet, despite the hardships and challenges, the Belgian and British forces stood together, united in their efforts to defend their respective countries and uphold the values of peace and justice. Archibald Wells, a renowned British photographer, captured this moment with exceptional skill and sensitivity, creating an enduring image that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. The photograph is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who fought in the trenches of World War One and to the enduring bonds of friendship and alliance that were forged during this dark period in history.
