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 photograph, taken on February 13, 1915, during the siege of Neuve-Chapelle in World War I, captures the devastating aftermath of a landmine explosion. The upheaval of earth and debris in the image is the result of the detonation of a large landmine, a frequent characteristic of siege warfare that could destroy huge sections of trenches and their occupants in seconds. The image, which is part of the Illustrated London News (ILN) collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, shows the destructive power of these weapons, which were often used to gain an advantage in the brutal trench warfare that defined much of the conflict. The landmine, an import from earlier wars, was a favored weapon due to its ability to cause mass destruction with minimal risk to the attacker. The photograph, which is believed to have been taken on February 13, 1915, during the Battle of Neuve-Chapelle, is a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war on the battlefield. The explosion, which would have occurred suddenly and without warning, would have left a large crater in the ground and likely claimed the lives of many soldiers on both sides. The image is a significant historical record of the First World War, providing a glimpse into the brutal realities of trench warfare and the destructive power of landmines. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this period and the importance of understanding the history of warfare to prevent such devastation in the future.
