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 print captures a moment frozen in time from ancient Greek history. The image showcases the intense fight over the body of Patroclus, depicted on a frieze from the Siphnian Treasury dating back to around 525 BC. The marble artwork, now housed in the Archaeological Museum at Delphi, Greece, portrays an epic scene from the Trojan War. The composition features Greek soldiers engaged in combat as they fiercely battle for control of Patroclus' lifeless body. Their helmets and shields gleam under the sunlight, symbolizing their unwavering determination and valor. The significance of this historical event is further emphasized by its preservation through photography. Taken in October 1961 by John Bethell, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry and storytelling prowess of ancient Greek civilization. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to a time when heroes like Achilles fought valiantly against Troy's forces. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with tales of bravery and sacrifice. With every intricate detail captured by Bethell's lens – from the delicate carving of each soldier to their expressions filled with anguish or determination – we can't help but be captivated by this snapshot into our collective past.
