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 titled "An admirable act of altruism, the worker Ghezzi, from Piacenza, takes off part of her skin. . " by Achille Beltrame showcases a remarkable display of selflessness. In this color lithograph, we witness an extraordinary moment where Ghezzi, a hardworking woman from Italy, willingly donates a portion of her own skin to save her sick sister's life. The image captures the essence of sacrifice and compassion as Ghezzi lies on a hospital bed surrounded by medical professionals. The scene is both eerie and awe-inspiring as she undergoes this unusual operation for the sake of her loved one's recovery. Beltrame's illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday in March 1910 and has since become an emblematic representation of human empathy. It serves as a testament to the power that individuals possess when driven by love and devotion. The juxtaposition between Ghezzi's ordinary occupation as a worker and her extraordinary act highlights the strength found within everyday heroes. This artwork not only celebrates women's contributions but also sheds light on the advancements made in medicine during that era. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece, we are reminded of the boundless potential for kindness within each individual. It stands as a timeless reminder that even in our darkest moments, acts of selflessness can illuminate our path towards healing and unity.
