23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 striking print captures the haunting beauty of the Ruins of Hougomont, a historic site that played a significant role in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The remnants of this once grand structure stand as a solemn reminder of the fierce fighting and bloodshed that took place during one of history's most famous battles.
The ruins themselves tell a story of war, destruction, and resilience. As we gaze upon them, we can almost hear the echoes of gunfire and cries of soldiers long gone. The walls bear scars from cannonballs and musket fire, serving as tangible evidence of the brutal conflict that unfolded on these grounds over two centuries ago.
In this image, nature has begun to reclaim what was lost to time and warfare. Vines creep up weathered stone walls, while wildflowers bloom amidst fallen rubble. It is a poignant juxtaposition between past and present - a reminder that even in our darkest moments, life finds a way to persevere.
As we reflect on this photograph by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded not only of the events that transpired at Hougomont but also of the enduring legacy left behind by those who fought bravely for their beliefs. It is a powerful testament to the human spirit and serves as a somber tribute to all those who have sacrificed in times of war.
