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 titled "Berenice, 1862" takes us on a haunting journey into the depths of Edgar Allan Poe's macabre imagination. Created by Alphonse Legros, this etching beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Poe's short story of the same name. The image transports us to a gloomy chamber where Egaeus stands before an open coffin. The eerie atmosphere is palpable as we witness his morbid fascination with Berenice's resting place. Legros skillfully portrays the protagonist's inner turmoil through his meticulous attention to detail. As our eyes are drawn to Berenice's lifeless form, we cannot help but be captivated by her enigmatic smile. It is both enchanting and unsettling, hinting at the dark secrets that lie within her final slumber. The juxtaposition between beauty and horror is masterfully conveyed through Legros' artistry. Poe's tale explores themes of obsession and madness, which are expertly echoed in this visual interpretation. The artist invites us to delve into the depths of human psyche and confront our own fears and desires. This evocative print serves as a powerful reminder of Poe's enduring legacy in Gothic literature. It encapsulates the essence of his chilling storytelling while paying homage to one of his most memorable characters. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded once again why Edgar Allan Poe remains an unrivaled master of suspense and terror.
