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 photograph captures General Ricciotti Garibaldi, the esteemed Italian military leader and son of the legendary General Giuseppe Garibaldi, during his inspection of French troops in Paris during World War One. Dated April 16, 1915, the image shows General Garibaldi, with the aid of crutches, meticulously examining the readiness and discipline of the recruits. Born in 1847, Ricciotti Garibaldi followed in his father's footsteps, becoming a prominent figure in the Italian unification movement and a decorated military commander. However, his health began to decline in the late 19th century, leaving him with a permanent limp and the need for crutches. Despite his physical challenges, Garibaldi continued to serve his country, even during the tumultuous events of the First World War. The photograph reveals the intense focus and determination of the general as he assesses the soldiers' readiness for battle. The troops, in turn, display a sense of respect and pride in the presence of their esteemed commander. The backdrop of Paris, the City of Light, adds a layer of historical significance to the scene, as the French capital had long been a symbol of culture, art, and intellectualism. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of military leaders like General Ricciotti Garibaldi, who, despite personal hardships, continued to serve their countries during times of war. The photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Garibaldi family and their contributions to Italian history.
