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.

James FitzJames, 1st Duke of Berwick (1670-1734): A Prominent Anglo-French Military Leader of the 17th and 18th Centuries This striking colored engraving depicts James FitzJames, 1st Duke of Berwick, a pivotal figure in European military history. Born in 1670 as the illegitimate son of King James II of England and his mistress Arabella Churchill, Berwick's lineage was a complex blend of English, French, and Spanish heritage. Berwick's military career began at a young age, serving under his father in the army. He later joined the French military, rising to the rank of Marshal in 1702. Berwick's military prowess and strategic acumen earned him a significant place in European military history. The Duke of Berwick is best known for his leadership during the War of the Spanish Succession. He played a crucial role in several key battles, including the Battle of Almansa (1707) and the Battle of Saragossa (1714), where he successfully defended the city against the English forces. Despite his French allegiance, Berwick's English heritage and illegitimate status complicated his position in European politics. He was often viewed with suspicion by both the English and the French, and his loyalties were a subject of much debate. This engraving, published in the "History of Spain" in 1882, captures the Duke of Berwick in the prime of his military career. With his curly hair, long mustache, and imposing armor, he presents a formidable and regal presence. Berwick's legacy as a military leader continues to be celebrated in both England and France, a testament to his enduring impact on European history.
