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 powerful moment in history - the dispensation of justice by the Druids. Taken from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, c. 1920, this lithograph by Alfred Pearse showcases an ancient scene where Druid priests act as judges. Intriguingly, these religious figures are seen here delivering their harshest punishment - excommunication. The onlookers surrounding them display a mix of fear and awe as they witness this solemn ritual unfold before their eyes. The image transports us back to pre-Roman Britain, offering a glimpse into the ruling practices of that time. The high priest stands tall with his staff, symbolizing his authority and power over matters of law and order. Banishment is meted out to those who have transgressed against societal norms or religious beliefs. The engraving beautifully depicts the intricate details of each figure present - from the priests themselves to monks and clergy observing from afar. It serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained religion was in ancient Briton society. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, we can't help but ponder on the significance of faith and its role in shaping our understanding of justice throughout history. This print is not just a historical artifact; it is an invitation to reflect on our own notions of right and wrong while appreciating the rich tapestry that makes up human civilization.
