Cannon Clive Elephant Oxen Plassey Victory
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 triumphant moment of Clive of India, Robert Clive, following his decisive victory at the Battle of Plassey on June 23, 1757. The battle, fought in present-day Bangladesh, marked a pivotal turning point in British colonial history, establishing the East India Company's dominance over Bengal and paving the way for the expansion of the British Empire in India. At the center of the image, Clive, dressed in red military uniform and wearing a tricorn hat, stands proudly on the back of an ornate elephant, adorned with intricate gold and silver decorations. The elephant, a symbol of power and prestige in Indian culture, carries Clive through the battlefield, signifying his conquest and authority. Surrounding Clive, the chaos and intensity of the battlefield unfold. Cannonballs fly through the air, exploding against the earth, while oxen strain against their ropes, pulling heavy artillery pieces forward. Soldiers clash in hand-to-hand combat, their weapons raised, and the cacophony of war drums and battle cries fill the air. The lush, green landscape of India provides a striking contrast to the chaos of the battlefield. Palm trees sway gently in the breeze, and the calm waters of a nearby river reflect the sun's rays. Despite the turmoil, the serene beauty of the natural world remains a constant presence, underscoring the fleeting nature of human conflict. This historical print offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the fate of empires was decided on the battlefield and the world was forever changed by the ambitions and conquests of great leaders like Clive.
