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 pivotal moment of the Battle of Mobile Bay, which took place on August 5, 1864, during the American Civil War. The scene depicts the Union fleet, led by Admiral David Farragut, charging through the heavily fortified Mobile Bay, Alabama, with the Confederate forts and batteries visible in the background. The Union ships, flying the Stars and Stripes high, are bravely advancing despite the hail of cannonballs and other projectiles from the Confederate defenses. The Battle of Mobile Bay was a significant victory for the Union forces, as it secured the last major Southern port on the Gulf of Mexico and effectively cut off the Confederacy from vital resources and supplies. The Union victory was largely due to the daring charge of Admiral Farragut's fleet, which sailed past the Confederate forts under the famous command "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" The print, created around 1886, captures the intensity and drama of the battle, with the smoke and flames rising from the ships and the water, and the ominous clouds looming in the background. The intricate detail of the ships and the fortifications, as well as the dynamic composition, make this a captivating and historically significant piece. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the soldiers and sailors who fought in the American Civil War and the pivotal role the Battle of Mobile Bay played in the eventual Union victory.
