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.

King Harald's Epic Battle - A Mythical Encounter with a Monstrous Dragon
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the legendary King Harald engaged in a fierce battle against a fearsome dragon. This awe-inspiring illustration, taken from Olaus Magnus' Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus and published in Rome in 1555, showcases the incredible woodcut artistry of an anonymous Italian School artist from the 16th century. With his crown firmly atop his head and armed with nothing but a dagger, King Harald fearlessly confronts this monstrous creature from Scandinavian folklore. The dragon's menacing tail is seen stabbed by the valiant king as he fights for his life and kingdom. This dramatic scene unfolds against the backdrop of northern Scandinavia, where tales of mythical creatures have long captivated imaginations. The intricate details of both characters bring them to life on paper – every muscle tense with exertion as they engage in mortal combat. The image captures not only the physical struggle between man and beast but also embodies themes of heroism, courage, and triumph over adversity. It serves as a testament to Norse mythology's enduring legacy and its influence on Scandinavian culture. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the power that stories hold – transporting us into fantastical realms where anything is possible. King Harald's epic battle against this monstrous dragon will forever be etched into our collective imagination thanks to Olaus
