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
The Battle of Issus: A Turning Point in Ancient History This print depicts the pivotal moment of The Battle of Issus, a significant engagement in the history of the ancient world. The scene unfolds before us, with Alexander III of Macedonia, renowned as Alexander the Great, leading his troops against the Achaemenid king Darius III. The year was 333 BC, and the location was the coastal plain of Issus in modern-day Turkey. Alexander, a brilliant military strategist, had been on a relentless quest to expand his empire, which had already seen him conquer Greece and much of the Persian satraps. Darius, the last Achaemenid king, had amassed a vast army to confront this formidable adversary. The two forces clashed, each determined to secure their dominance in the ancient world. The print beautifully captures the intensity and chaos of the battlefield. Alexander, astride his horse Bucephalus, is shown in the midst of the fray, his troops rallying behind him. Darius, on his chariot, faces him, with his army forming a defensive line behind. The clash of arms, the thunder of hooves, and the cacophony of war cries fill the air as the two forces collide. The Battle of Issus proved to be a turning point in history. Alexander's victory marked the end of the Achaemenid Empire and the beginning of the Hellenistic period. The conquests of Alexander the Great would forever change the course of Western civilization. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the epic struggles that shaped our past and continues to inspire us today.
