17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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. 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 evocative print captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Malate, which took place on the night of July 31, 1898, in the Philippines. The Spanish colonial forces, led by General Weyler, are seen fiercely defending their positions against the advancing Filipino revolutionary army under the command of General Emilio Aguinaldo. The battle, which raged through the streets of Malate, a district in the heart of Manila, marked a pivotal moment in the Philippine Revolution for independence from Spanish rule. The night sky is illuminated by the flickering light of bonfires and the muzzle flashes of guns, casting long, ominous shadows over the scene. Smoke rises from the buildings, a testament to the destruction wrought by the fierce combat. Soldiers from both sides are depicted in the heat of battle, their faces etched with determination and resolve. The Battle of Malate was a turning point in the Philippine Revolution, with the Filipino forces gaining control of the strategic district and effectively cutting off the Spanish forces from their supply lines. The victory boosted the morale of the Filipino people and brought them closer to achieving their goal of independence. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination displayed by the soldiers on both sides during this pivotal moment in Philippine history. The Battle of Malate is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Filipino people and their unwavering commitment to their cause.
