17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 showcases General Custer's scouts during the Native American uprisings on the Great Plains in the 1860s. The image takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history, where traditional Native heritage clashed with the advancing frontier. In this vivid illustration, we see a group of brave soldiers mounted on their horses, embodying the spirit of adventure and courage that defined the West. Their stoic expressions reveal their determination as they navigate through rugged terrain, serving as eyes and ears for General Custer's army. The artist skillfully captures not only the intensity of war but also pays homage to America's rich military history. This vintage artwork transports us to an era when horseback cavalry played a crucial role in shaping North America. As we delve into this piece, it is impossible not to reflect upon George Armstrong Custer himself – a controversial figure whose name became synonymous with both heroism and tragedy. His leadership within the 7th Cavalry Regiment left an indelible mark on Indian wars and shaped our understanding of this tumultuous period. This historical print serves as a reminder of how art can encapsulate significant moments from our past, allowing us to connect with our roots and appreciate those who came before us. It stands as a testament to bravery, sacrifice, and resilience amidst one of America's most defining conflicts - an enduring symbol etched onto paper for generations to come.
