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.

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 image captures the pivotal moment in ancient history when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River in Italy, marking the frontier of his Gallic province, on January 10, 49 BC. Caesar's decision to defy the Roman Senate and invade Italy was a bold and risky move that would forever change the course of Roman history. The Rubicon River, located in central Italy, was considered a symbolic boundary between Caesar's province and Rome itself. Crossing it with his army signaled his intention to wage war against the Roman Republic and seize power. The event is known as the "Crossing of the Rubicon," and it marked the beginning of a decade of civil war that would ultimately lead to Caesar's dictatorship and the end of the Roman Republic. The image depicts Caesar on horseback, leading his troops across the river, with the turbulent waters of the Rubicon in the foreground. The bridge in the background indicates that the army had to ford the river, as the bridge was not strong enough to support the weight of the large number of soldiers and their equipment. The ominous clouds in the sky add to the sense of drama and uncertainty, as Caesar and his men faced an uncertain future. This historical event is one of the most famous in Roman history, and it continues to fascinate scholars and students of history to this day. The Crossing of the Rubicon marked a turning point in the political and military history of Rome, and it remains a powerful symbol of the courage and determination of one man to defy the established order and seize power.
