17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print depicts a proposal for the uniform and equipment of a new corps of lancers in the British Army, as illustrated in 1813. In the image, a lancer stands proudly with his back facing the viewer, his lance resting on his right shoulder, and his sabre at his side. The lancer wears a distinctive blue jacket with gold and yellow facings, a red waist sash, and a green helmet adorned with a yellow plume. His gloves are also visible, adding a touch of elegance to his military attire. The lancer's most notable piece of equipment is his lance, which is held with great precision and pride. The spear's shaft is topped with a large, curved iron spearhead, and a gold and yellow pennon flies from the tip. The lancer's sabre, which hangs from his belt, is also a symbol of his deadly prowess on the battlefield. The corps of lancers was a new addition to the British Army, and this proposed uniform and equipment were designed to instill fear in the hearts of the enemy. The lancers' distinctive uniform, with its bold colors and ornate details, would have made them a formidable sight on the battlefield. The corps was also equipped with flags, which can be seen in the background of the print, adding an air of grandeur and unity to the troops. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the military history of the British Army, and the proposed uniform and equipment of the lancers corps are a testament to the attention to detail and innovation that went into creating a formidable fighting force. The lancers would go on to see action in various conflicts, including the Peninsular War and the Crimean War, and their legacy continues to be celebrated in the annals of military history.
