Though New York City was not attacked during the War of 1812, residents feverishly reinforced fortifications and militia regiments trained in preparation for the worst. Here, militiamen are drilling near one of the city’s four arsenals, which was built in 1808, when the state authorized the construction of "an arsenal, laboratory and workshops and ordnance yard ... between Elm and Collect streets, not to exceed the sum of $13,000," according to an 1889 history of New York during the War of 1812. In the foreground are the remnants of Fresh Water, or Collect, Pond. In 1803, New York began draining the heavily polluted pond, which was then replaced in 1815 by the infamous Five Points neighborhood.

The colors are luminous, the details of the print are very clear. The direct UV print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly contemporary way to display artworks, since it draws focus on the whole artwork.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, often referenced as a UV print on plexiglass, will turn the original into beautiful home décor.
• Canvas: A printed canvas, not to be mistaken with a canvas painting, is a digital copy printed from a UV direct printer. Furthermore, a printed canvas generates a familiar and positive ambience. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without the use of additional wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The poster is a printed canvas with a slightly roughened surface structure. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin 2-6 cm round about the print, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
