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
Negus Menelik II, the powerful and visionary ruler of Ethiopia, stands triumphantly at the Battle of Aduwa in 1896. Surrounded by his brave soldiers, Menelik gazes out at the remnants of the Italian army, which had been routed with enormous loss under the command of General Oreste Baratieri. This pivotal moment in African history marked the end of Italian colonial ambitions in Ethiopia and solidified Menelik's status as a formidable leader. The Battle of Aduwa took place on March 1, 1896, in the northern part of Ethiopia. Menelik, who had been preparing for the Italian invasion for several years, outmaneuvered and outfought the Italian forces, resulting in a decisive victory. The Italian army, which was better equipped and larger in number, suffered heavy losses, with estimates ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 soldiers killed or wounded. Menelik's military tactics, which combined traditional Ethiopian fighting techniques with modern weapons, proved to be a formidable force. The Ethiopian army, made up of well-trained and disciplined soldiers, was able to outflank and outmaneuver the Italian forces, leading to their defeat. This photograph captures the moment of victory for Negus Menelik II and the Ethiopian people. It is a testament to their resilience and determination in the face of foreign invasion and a reminder of the rich and complex history of Africa. The Battle of Aduwa remains an important event in African history, and this image of Menelik's triumphant victory continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
