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
In this evocative reproduction of a painting by Frank O. Salisbury, we honor the memory of John Jack Travers Cornwell, a young and brave sailor who posthumously received the Victoria Cross for his extraordinary acts of courage during the Battle of Jutland in the First World War. Born in 1900, Cornwell served aboard HMS Chester, a British cruiser, when it came under relentless fire from four German cruisers on May 31, 1916. Despite the intense danger, Cornwell displayed unwavering bravery. He manned a Lewis gun, single-handedly firing at the enemy ships while encouraging his comrades to continue their efforts. When ammunition ran low, he bravely ventured into the open deck to replenish it, exposing himself to enemy fire. Cornwell's actions were instrumental in repelling the German attack, allowing HMS Chester to escape and continue the battle. Tragically, he was struck by a shell during the engagement and succumbed to his injuries. His heroism did not go unnoticed, and he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration for valor in the British military. The Battle of Jutland, fought on May 31 and June 1, 1916, was the largest naval battle of the First World War. It took place in the North Sea between the British Royal Navy and the German High Seas Fleet. The battle ended inconclusively, but it marked a turning point in the war, as the British were able to prevent a major German offensive in the North Sea. This poignant image of John Jack Travers Cornwell serves as a powerful reminder of the incredible bravery and courage displayed by ordinary men and women during the Great War. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who answered the call to duty and made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
