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 print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back in time to a pivotal moment in history. It depicts the fierce determination of Aztec warriors as they valiantly defend the sacred temple of Tenochtitlan against the relentless onslaught of Conquistadors. The Biblioteque Nationale, Paris serves as the backdrop for this epic battle between two worlds. In this image, we witness a clash of civilizations - one deeply rooted in ancient traditions and spirituality, while the other driven by imperialistic ambitions and military might. The central focus is on the towering temple, symbolizing both cultural identity and religious significance for the Aztecs. The composition captures every detail with remarkable clarity: from intricately adorned warrior attire to formidable weaponry wielded by both sides. The intensity etched onto their faces reveals not only their commitment to protecting their homeland but also an understanding that defeat would mean surrendering centuries-old customs to foreign domination. This photograph encapsulates themes such as colonialism, war, and resistance. It reminds us of how power dynamics can shape destinies and alter nations forever. As we gaze upon these brave defenders standing tall against overwhelming odds, it prompts reflection on historical injustices inflicted upon indigenous peoples throughout Central America during Spanish conquests. Through this powerful visual narrative preserved at Biblioteque Nationale, Paris, we are reminded that even amidst chaos and destruction caused by colonization; there exists an indomitable spirit capable of fighting for what is cherished most dearly – freedom and heritage.
