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 depicts a pivotal moment in the history of the Mediterranean: the Siege of Malta in 1565. The island, strategically located between Europe and the Middle East, was under siege by the formidable Ottoman Turkish army led by Grand Master Piale Pasha. The brave defenders of Malta, led by Jean de Valette, Grand Master of the Order of St. John, were determined to protect their territory and repel the invading forces. The siege, which lasted from May to September, was marked by fierce battles and relentless assaults. The Turkish fleet, numbering over 100 ships and 40,000 soldiers, laid siege to the fortified city of Valletta, built just a decade earlier. The defenders, numbering only 6,000, were vastly outnumbered but were bolstered by the determination and resilience of the Maltese people and the courage of their leaders. Despite the odds, the defenders held out against the Turks, inflicting heavy losses on them. The turning point of the siege came in September when the Turkish forces, weakened by disease and low morale, finally withdrew. The victory was a significant one for Europe, as it prevented the Ottoman Turks from gaining a foothold in the Mediterranean and securing a direct route to Europe. This print captures the intensity and drama of the siege, with the defenders bravely holding their ground against the advancing Turkish forces. The image of Jean de Valette, resolute and determined, leading his men into battle, has become an enduring symbol of Maltese heroism and resilience. The Siege of Malta remains an important chapter in the history of the Mediterranean and a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who defended it.
