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 portrait of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, painted by the British artist Charles Howard Hodges in 1809, offers a glimpse into the complex political landscape of Europe during the Napoleonic Wars. At the time of this painting, Louis Napoleon, the younger brother of the renowned Napoleon Bonaparte, was the King of Holland, ruling over a kingdom established by the French to secure their interests in Europe. Louis Napoleon is depicted standing confidently in an open-air setting, wearing the uniform of a Dutch general and adorned with a sash and a medal. The hat on his head, a typical Dutch bicorne, further emphasizes his role as the monarch of Holland. The painting's backdrop, a picturesque landscape, adds a sense of tranquility and serenity to the image, contrasting with the turbulent political climate of the time. Louis Napoleon's reign was marked by numerous challenges, including economic instability and resistance from the Dutch people. Despite these difficulties, he is portrayed here with an open and approachable demeanor, inviting the viewer to look beyond the political turmoil and see the man behind the monarch. This portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a testament to the artistic skill of Charles Howard Hodges and provides valuable insight into the history of Europe during the Napoleonic Wars. The painting's intricate details, from the folds of Louis Napoleon's uniform to the textures of the landscape, showcase the artist's mastery of the medium and make it a must-see for anyone interested in European art and history.
