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 depicts the pivotal moment in history when the British captured Quebec during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759. The image showcases a dramatic scene filled with action, as British forces launch an assault on the city from both land and sea. A majestic ship dominates the foreground, symbolizing England's naval power, while colonial infantry bravely storm towards their objective. The illustration transports us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into this significant conflict between France and Britain for control over North America. The capture of Quebec was a turning point in the French and Indian War, ultimately leading to New France becoming part of the British Empire. The artist skillfully captures not only historical accuracy but also conveys a sense of tension and intensity through intricate details. From soldiers engaged in combat to smoke billowing from cannon fire, every element adds depth to this visual narrative. As we admire this vintage piece of artistry, it serves as a reminder of Canada's rich history and its significance within global conflicts. It is an invaluable snapshot that encapsulates an era where empires clashed for supremacy over vast territories. This print stands as a testament to human resilience and ambition throughout centuries-long struggles for power and dominance on foreign shores.
