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 evocative print captures the intensity and chaos of the Second Battle of Buenos Aires, which took place on the streets of Argentina's capital city on July 4-5, 1807, during the Napoleonic Wars. The British, led by General James Grant, launched an invasion of the Spanish-held South American colony in an attempt to secure valuable resources and weaken the Spanish Empire. The image portrays the moment of the British attack, with soldiers charging forward on horseback, their horses rearing and snorting, while others advance on foot, rifles at the ready. The clash of steel can be seen in the foreground as British and Argentine troops exchange blows with their bayonets and pistols. The smoke from gunpowder fills the air, obscuring the view and adding to the sense of confusion and chaos. The Second Battle of Buenos Aires is considered a turning point in the history of Argentina, as the Spanish forces, led by General Carlos de Alvear, were able to repel the British invasion and secure their hold on the colony. The victory boosted morale and strengthened the Spanish presence in the region, delaying the eventual independence of Argentina from Spain. This print, created in the 19th century, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a visual representation of the military tactics, weapons, and uniforms used during the Napoleonic Wars. It also serves as a reminder of the global reach and impact of these conflicts, which shaped the political and cultural landscape of Europe and the Americas for generations to come.
