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
In this intriguing print titled "The Ostend Doctrine 1856 A. D" we are transported back to a significant moment in American history. The image captures the essence of a political doctrine that caused quite a stir during its time. Created by Nathaniel Currier, known for his satirical illustrations, this artwork sheds light on the controversial Ostend Manifesto. The Ostend Manifesto was an influential document advocated by three American ministers: James Buchanan, Pierre Soule, and John Y. Mason. Their bold proposal urged the United States to either purchase or seize Cuba from Spain. This audacious plan aimed to expand American territories and secure economic interests in the Caribbean region. Currier's illustration skillfully portrays these historical figures engaged in intense discussions as they strategize their next move towards acquiring Cuba. Through satire and clever symbolism, he captures both the gravity and absurdity of their proposition. Preserved within the Library of Congress archives, this artwork serves as a reminder of America's ambitious past and its pursuit of manifest destiny during the mid-19th century. It offers us a glimpse into an era where political doctrines were fiercely debated and actions had far-reaching consequences. As we examine this thought-provoking piece from Universal Images Group (UIG), it invites us to reflect upon our nation's complex history while appreciating Currier's artistic talent in capturing such pivotal moments with wit and creativity.
