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 hand-colored woodcut print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the Surrender of the British army under Lord Cornwallis to the American and French forces at Yorktown in 1781. The image showcases an 18th-century illustration, beautifully brought to life with vibrant colors. In this historic scene, we witness a solemn ceremony unfolding on Virginia soil. A distinguished American officer, most likely General George Washington himself, stands tall on horseback as he accepts the surrender of the British army. Surrounding him are his fellow officers from both America and France, symbolizing their alliance during this crucial battle. The significance of this event cannot be overstated. It marks a turning point in the Revolutionary War that ultimately led to America's independence from Britain. The brave colonists fought alongside their French allies against formidable odds, culminating in this decisive victory at Yorktown. As we delve into this piece of art, we can almost hear echoes of cannon fire and feel the tension that must have filled the air during those fateful days in 1781. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's resilience and determination throughout its history. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and honor those who fought for freedom by preserving such remarkable illustrations like EVRV2A-00094 for generations to come.
