23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 image depicts Hannibal Barca, the legendary Carthaginian military commander, leading his army and elephants across the Rhone River during the Second Punic War. The year was 218 BC, and Hannibal was on a mission to invade Italy and challenge the Roman Republic's dominance in the Mediterranean. The scene is believed to have taken place near the modern-day town of Aurasio in present-day France. With the Alps looming in the distance, Hannibal and his troops faced a daunting task: crossing the Rhone River and its treacherous currents to continue their march towards Italy. The photograph showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Carthaginian army, as they construct a large raft to transport their soldiers, horses, and elephants across the water. The elephants, a formidable part of Hannibal's military might, are carefully secured and guided onto the raft, their massive size and weight a testament to the logistical challenges faced by the Carthaginians. The soldiers, dressed in armor and armed with shields and spears, work together to secure their position on the raft and navigate the turbulent waters. The Rhone River, once a barrier, now becomes a vital link in Hannibal's strategy to surprise the Romans and change the course of the war. This historical photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of ancient wars and legendary leaders. The image serves as a reminder of the incredible feats accomplished by the human spirit and the enduring allure of history.
