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
Nebet Tepe, Philippopolis, Bulgaria (1885): A Pivotal Moment in the Eastern Roumelia Crisis This evocative photograph captures the district of Nebet Tepe in the city of Philippopolis, now known as Plovdiv, Bulgaria, during the tumultuous year of 1885. The Eastern Roumelia Crisis was a significant event in the late 19th century Balkan Crisis, a period marked by the vassal states' quest for independence from the Ottoman Empire. The district of Nebet Tepe, located on a strategic hill overlooking the city, held great historical and cultural significance. It was here that the ancient Roman and Byzantine ruins stood proudly, a testament to the rich history of the region. However, in 1885, the hill became a focal point of the Eastern Roumelia Crisis. The Bulgarian National Liberation Movement, led by prominent figures such as Stefan Stambolov and Dimitar Petkov, had been advocating for Bulgarian independence for years. In April 1885, the movement launched an uprising in Eastern Roumelia, which included the region around Philippopolis. The Ottoman forces responded with brutal force, leading to widespread violence and chaos. The photograph shows the aftermath of the clashes between the Bulgarian rebels and the Ottoman soldiers. The ruins of the ancient city, once a symbol of the region's rich history, now stand as a backdrop to the chaos and destruction. The smoke rising from the buildings in the background indicates the ongoing conflict, while the soldiers in the foreground, both Bulgarian and Ottoman, suggest the tense and volatile atmosphere. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the Eastern Roumelia Crisis, a pivotal moment in Bulgarian history, and the broader Balkan Crisis that shaped the political landscape of the region for decades to come.
