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 engraving captures a small but defiant moment in the aftermath of the Crimean War (1853-1856) as a party of Cossack soldiers, despite their defeat by the allied forces of the Turks, the French, and the British, cheerfully entertain themselves by singing as they leave the Crimea. The Crimean War was a significant turning point in European history, marked by intense fighting and numerous casualties on both sides. The allied forces, led by Britain and France, had managed to secure a victory against the Russian army, which had attempted to expand its influence in the region. The Cossacks, a group of Russian troops known for their military prowess and fierce independence, were a common sight in the Crimean Peninsula. Their horseback skills and nomadic lifestyle made them formidable opponents on the battlefield. Yet, even in defeat, they maintained their spirit and morale. The image of these soldiers singing as they depart from Kadikol, a town in the Crimea, serves as a poignant reminder of the human element in war. The engraving, created in 1856, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of a small yet significant moment in the Crimean War. The Cossacks' departure from the Crimea marked the cessation of hostilities, and their exit from the region signaled the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the Crimea and Europe as a whole. This engraving, with its depiction of the Cossacks' cheerful departure, stands as a testament to their indomitable spirit and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
