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 Pollilur, which took place on September 10, 1780, in Southern India. The battle was waged between Tipu Sultan, the valiant and fearsome ruler of Mysore, and Colonel William Bailey, a British military officer leading a contingent of the East India Company's forces. Tipu Sultan, also known as the Tiger of Mysore, had emerged as a formidable adversary to the British East India Company's expanding territorial ambitions in India. In this dramatic scene, Tipu Sultan, depicted as a regal and imposing figure on horseback, leads his troops into battle against Bailey's forces. Bailey, shown in the foreground, appears determined and focused, surrounded by his soldiers, many of whom are shown in various stages of combat. The print captures the raw energy and intensity of the battle, with swirling clouds of dust and smoke, the clashing of swords, and the cacophony of war drums and battle cries. Despite Bailey's brave resistance, the Battle of Pollilur ended in a decisive victory for Tipu Sultan. Bailey was captured, along with many of his soldiers, and the British forces were forced to retreat. The defeat marked a significant turning point in the Anglo-Mysore Wars, and Tipu Sultan's reputation as a formidable military leader was solidified. This print is a poignant reminder of the rich and complex history of India, and the pivotal role that Tipu Sultan played in shaping the political landscape of the region during the late 18th century. The image of Tipu Sultan on horseback, surrounded by his troops, is a powerful symbol of courage, determination, and leadership, and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable historical figure.
