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
Major (Brevet Lt-Col) James John Hugonin of the 4th Light Dragoons is depicted in this stunning oil on canvas painting, created by the renowned artist James Canterbury Pardon around 1820. Hugonin, a distinguished military figure, joined the 4th Light Dragoons as a cornet in 1795 and was quickly promoted to lieutenant the same year. He continued to rise through the ranks, becoming a captain in 1803, major in 1811, and ultimately a brevet Lt-Col in 1819. During the Battle of Toulouse in 1814, Hugonin commanded the regiment in the absence of Lt-Col Dalbiac and received the Army Gold Medal for his bravery and leadership. After retiring from the regiment in 1821, Hugonin spent the remainder of his days at Nursted House near Petersfield, where he passed away on 30 January 1854. In this painting, Hugonin is shown with his black trumpeter and two troopers, with the regiment visible in the background. The regiment's red coats and white facings stand out against the lush green landscape, while the black trumpeter's contrasting attire adds a striking visual element to the scene. The painting captures the essence of the military life of the time, with its attention to detail and the sense of order and discipline that was a hallmark of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars.
