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
Receptions. . . unexpected (colour litho) captures a chaotic scene in Cape Town, South Africa during the arrival of the new German cruiser Emden. This print by Achille Beltrame showcases the dramatic events that unfolded when an overwhelming crowd gathered to witness the ship's arrival. The image depicts a bustling harbor filled with men and women eagerly awaiting the sight of the imposing vessel. As excitement reaches its peak, chaos ensues as hundreds of visitors attempt to board the ship, causing concern for their safety. In order to maintain order and prevent accidents, crew members resort to spraying jets of water onto the enthusiastic crowd. The impact is immediate - ladies fainting left and right while dressing tables are ruined amidst all this commotion. The artist's keen eye for detail brings forth both humor and tragedy in this snapshot from history. Beltrame's illustration was originally published in La Domenica Del Corriere on January 30th, 1927. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly ordinary events can quickly escalate into unexpected spectacles when human curiosity takes hold. This remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era where grand ships held immense fascination for people around the world. With its vibrant colors and lively composition, "Receptions. . . unexpected" invites us to reflect on our own reactions to moments of surprise and wonder.
