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 engraving captures a moment during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, as French Gardes Mobiles, or territorial soldiers, go about their patrol duties between Forts Bicetre and Ivry, located near Paris. The Franco-Prussian War was a significant conflict in European history, pitting the Second French Empire against the Kingdom of Prussia and its allies. The war began in July 1870 and ended with a Prussian victory, leading to the abdication of Napoleon III and the establishment of the Third French Republic. The Gardes Mobiles were an essential part of the French military during this time, as they were the first line of defense for the capital city. These soldiers were called up for the war and were responsible for securing the outskirts of Paris and protecting the civilian population. In this image, we see them marching in formation, likely on the lookout for any signs of enemy activity. The fortifications of Forts Bicetre and Ivry can be seen in the background, providing a sense of the strategic importance of this area. The engraving, which dates from December 1870, is an important historical document that offers a glimpse into the defensive measures taken by the French during the Franco-Prussian War. It is a reminder of the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought to protect their homeland during a time of great upheaval and change. This image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical prints or military history, and its intricate detail and fine craftsmanship make it a beautiful addition to any home or office.
