Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

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.

The Skeleton of Death as Champion Boxer - A Haunting Allegory of Defeat
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving from 1827, Richard Dagley masterfully depicts an eerie scene that serves as a haunting allegory for the inevitability of defeat. The central figure is none other than the skeleton of Death himself, donning boxing gloves and breeches, standing triumphantly over three lifeless bare-knuckle prizefighters in a desolate ring. Dagley's composition exudes a sense of macabre beauty, with the stark contrast between life and death emphasized by the presence of an empty wine bottle nearby. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are confronted with their own mortality and reminded that even champions must eventually succumb to the ultimate opponent. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his steel engravings. Each line conveys both strength and fragility, capturing the essence of these fallen warriors while simultaneously immortalizing them within this chilling tableau. This powerful image not only showcases Dagley's artistic prowess but also serves as a reflection on human nature itself. It reminds us that no matter how skilled or invincible we may feel in our pursuits, time will always catch up with us. Through his vivid portrayal, Dagley urges us to contemplate our own mortality and consider what legacy we will leave behind when faced with our final bout against Death himself. As we ponder upon "The Skeleton of Death as Champion Boxer" let us remember that it is not just a mere depiction; it is an invitation to reflect on our own lives and embrace each moment before fate delivers its inevitable knockout blow.
