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.

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 poignant image showcases the death certificate of Maria Pita, a brave and celebrated Spanish heroine from the 16th century. Born as Maria Mayor Fernandez de Camara y Pita, she gained renown for her valiant defense of Corunna during the English Armada's attack in 1589, led by Francis Drake. The document, taken from the Book of Deceased Persons of Sigras Parish Church in Galicia, Spain, records her passing on February 21, 1643. Maria Pita's heroic actions during the siege of Corunna are the stuff of legend. With her husband and son killed in the initial assault, she took up arms and defended the city's fortifications, inspiring the remaining defenders and repelling the English forces. King Philip II recognized her bravery by awarding her the rank of ensign. This historical document, a testament to Maria Pita's courage and resilience, is now preserved at the Maria Pita House Museum in Corunna, Galicia, Spain. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to an extraordinary woman who played a pivotal role in Spanish history.
