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 captures a haunting scene from the past, depicting a sickbed with a pox victim. The illustration is taken from a medical treatise by Paracelsus, an influential physician and alchemist of the 16th century. Published in 1553, this woodcut image showcases the grim reality faced by patients during times of plague and epidemic. The attention to detail in this Flemish School artwork is remarkable. It portrays a smallpox patient lying on their bed, surrounded by medical tools and remedies used for treatment. The doctor, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen diligently attending to the suffering individual. This frontispiece offers us an insight into the scientific writing of that era as well as the dutch text accompanying it. Through this historical lens, we are reminded of the devastating impact diseases had on society throughout history. The epidemics that plagued our ancestors were met with limited knowledge and resources compared to modern medicine. This print serves as both a reminder of our progress in healthcare and an homage to those who dedicated their lives to understanding and combating illnesses. It stands as a testament to human resilience in times of sickness while also highlighting how far we have come in terms of medical advancements. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images, let us reflect on the importance of health preservation and appreciate those who tirelessly work towards eradicating diseases worldwide.
