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 the aftermath of a dreadful accident that occurred in 1904. The engraving, created by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century, depicts a horrifying scene where six lives were tragically lost after a train collided with a car on a level crossing. The image showcases the devastating consequences of this collision, as the automobile is completely crushed under the immense force of the steam locomotive. The illustration was originally published in Le Petit Parisien on May 15th, 1904, serving as a chilling reminder of the dangers posed by railways and motor vehicles during that era. This haunting depiction evokes feelings of horror and shock as we witness firsthand the destructive power unleashed upon impact. The significance of this artwork extends beyond its historical context; it serves as a poignant reminder to prioritize safety when it comes to transportation. It reminds us how crucial it is for motorists and railway operators alike to exercise caution and adhere to traffic regulations at all times. As we reflect upon this tragic event captured within this print, let us remember those who lost their lives in this calamity and strive towards creating safer means of transport for future generations.
