Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

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 engraving from the 18th century depicts the ancient practice of cupping therapy, a form of alternative medicine that has been used for centuries. The image shows a person undergoing cupping therapy, with glass cups creating suction on their skin to treat various ailments such as pain, scar tissues in muscles and connective tissue, muscle knots, and swelling.
Cupping therapy is believed by some to have therapeutic benefits by improving blood flow and promoting healing in the body. However, its efficacy remains unproven and controversial in modern medicine.
The intricate details captured in this print showcase the historical significance of cupping therapy as a pseudo-medicinal practice that was once widely used across Europe. The use of heat and vacuum pressure through glass cups highlights the traditional methods employed in this ancient form of pain therapy.
As we gaze upon this fascinating engraving, we are transported back to a time when alternative medicine played a significant role in treating various health conditions. This artwork serves as a reminder of the diverse practices that have shaped medical history throughout the centuries.
