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 hauntingly beautiful aquatint print, titled "The Death of Sir John Moore," depicts the final moments of Sir John Moore, a British military commander during the Peninsular War (1808-1814) against Napoleon's forces. The scene unfolds on January 17, 1809, during the Battle of Corunna, where Moore led his troops in a valiant but ultimately unsuccessful defense against the French. As the British forces retreated towards the port city of Corunna, Moore was mortally wounded by a French sniper's bullet. The print captures the poignant moment as Moore, surrounded by his loyal soldiers, accepts his fate with dignity and grace. His men, many of whom had fought under his command for years, gather around him, their faces etched with sorrow and determination. The print was created by Thomas Sutherland, based on a painting by William Heath, and published by John Jenkins in 1815. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Napoleonic Wars, and the unwavering loyalty and courage displayed by the British military during this tumultuous period in European history. Sir John Moore's death was a significant loss for the British forces, but his legacy lived on. His strategic brilliance and leadership inspired future generations of military commanders, and his name became synonymous with courage and determination in the face of adversity. This powerful image immortalizes a moment of loss and sacrifice, and serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who fought in the Napoleonic Wars.
