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.

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 striking portrait of George Washington, painted by Charles Willson Peale in 1781, captures the momentous historical figure at a pivotal point in American history. The painting, titled "George Washington at Yorktown," is currently housed in the Collection of the State House in Annapolis, Maryland. George Washington, the first President of the United States, is depicted in military uniform, a testament to his leadership of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The battle of Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, marked a turning point in the war, with the American and French forces defeating the British army, leading to the eventual surrender of General Cornwallis and the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which recognized the United States as an independent nation. Peale's masterful portrayal of Washington's strong and determined expression conveys the confidence and resolve of a leader who would go on to shape the future of the young nation. The painting's historical significance is further emphasized by the setting, with the background depicting the ruins of Yorktown, a reminder of the hard-won victory and the sacrifices made during the long and arduous struggle for American independence. As the father of his country, Washington's legacy continues to inspire and influence the United States and its people. This portrait, a precious piece of American history, serves as a powerful reminder of the courage, determination, and visionary leadership that shaped the course of American history.
