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 postcard print from the early 20th century depicts a scene of temptation and intrigue. Inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's renowned play, "Faust" it showcases the encounter between Faust and Mephistopheles, the devil himself. The vibrant color lithography brings to life this mesmerizing moment as Mephistopheles, portrayed as a seductive female figure, entices Faust with her irresistible charm. The artist skillfully captures the essence of temptation through intricate details such as bare breasts and nudity, symbolizing vulnerability and desire. Surrounded by cherubs or putti, these mischievous little angels add an ethereal touch to the composition. Their presence hints at both innocence and mischief while emphasizing the supernatural nature of this encounter. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's influence on literature is undeniable, making him one of Germany's most celebrated writers. This artwork pays homage to his iconic work while also exploring themes of power dynamics, morality, and human desires. As we gaze upon this intriguing image captured in time by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of our own inner struggles with temptation. It serves as a visual reminder that even great minds like Goethe were fascinated by these timeless questions about good versus evil.
