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
In this wood engraving from 1876, Gustave Dore brings to life a scene from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". The print showcases an extraordinary moment in the frozen seas of Antarctica, where a marooned ship becomes an unlikely refuge for both sailors and wildlife. Amidst towering icebergs and freezing waters, we witness a mesmerizing encounter between sailors and an albatross. With outstretched wings and piercing eyes, the majestic bird gracefully accepts its unexpected meal from the hands of these stranded seafarers. As it devours sustenance it had never tasted before, one can almost feel its gratitude emanating through the image. Dore masterfully captures the isolation and desolation that permeate this icy landscape. The ship stands as a solitary beacon against nature's harsh elements while providing temporary respite for those aboard. Through his intricate detailing and skillful use of light and shadow, Dore transports us into this otherworldly realm where man coexists with untamed wilderness. This wood engraving not only serves as a visual representation of Coleridge's timeless tale but also reminds us of our interconnectedness with nature even in the most inhospitable environments. It invites contemplation on themes such as survival, redemption, and humanity's impact on fragile ecosystems. As we gaze upon this evocative print by Gustave Dore, we are transported to a place where imagination meets reality—a
