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 historic print depicts the momentous event of the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, which took place on July 16, 1212, in what is now Spain. The scene captures Alfonso VIII of Castile, King James I of Aragon, and Sancho VII of Navarre united in victory over the Moorish forces led by the Almohad Caliph Muhammad an-Nasir. The image shows Alfonso VIII, dressed in royal robes and holding a scepter, standing triumphantly over the defeated Moorish leader, who lies prostrate at his feet. The King of Aragon, James I, is depicted on horseback, brandishing a dagger, while the King of Navarre, Sancho VII, stands beside him with a sword in hand. The Moors, dressed in exotic attire, are shown in disarray, with some fleeing the battlefield and others surrendering. The Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa is considered a turning point in the Reconquista, the long and complex process by which Christian kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula gradually reclaimed territory from Muslim rule. The defeat of the Moors at Tolosa marked the beginning of the end of Almohad power in Spain and paved the way for the eventual Christian conquest of the entire peninsula. This print is a testament to the rich history of Spain and the complex political dynamics of the medieval period. It also highlights the significance of unity and collaboration among the Christian kingdoms in achieving a common goal. The image is a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the leaders and soldiers who fought in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa and contributed to the shaping of the Iberian Peninsula as we know it today.
