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 chromolitho print showcases a powerful moment from Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, "Hamlet". In this scene, the brooding Prince Hamlet is seen deep in contemplation as he gazes upon the skull of Yorick, the court jester. The European School artist skillfully captures Hamlet's introspective nature and inner turmoil through intricate details and vibrant colors. The image transports us to a haunting graveyard setting, where Hamlet finds himself surrounded by death and decay. The somber atmosphere is heightened by the presence of a gravedigger nearby. As we observe this poignant tableau, we are reminded of the play's central themes: mortality, existential questions, and the fragility of life. This chromolitho print was part of a series created in Germany during the late 19th or early 20th century. It serves as an educational tool for those studying Shakespearean literature or delving into German culture at that time. The inclusion of this particular scene emphasizes its significance within "Hamlet" and highlights Yorick's symbolic role as a memento mori. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate both the artistic merit and historical context behind this remarkable piece. Whether one is drawn to its dramatic composition or intrigued by its connection to classic literature, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve deeper into one of Shakespeare's most iconic works.
