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 engraving from 1851 captures the spirit of cultural exchange at the Great Exhibition. The image showcases a diverse group of visitors, representing both Scotland and Spain, as they explore the wonders within the Crystal Palace. The Scottish contingent takes center stage, exuding strength and pride in their traditional attire. A kilt-clad Highlander proudly carries a caber, symbolizing his athletic prowess, while bagpipes fill the air with their melodious tunes. And what's that he's carrying? A large bottle of whiskey, undoubtedly adding to the merriment of this international gathering. Following closely behind is a Spanish gentleman who embodies elegance and sophistication. His presence is marked by an air of refinement as he leisurely enjoys his cigars. This engraving not only celebrates these two distinct cultures but also highlights how stereotypes were often used to depict different nationalities during this time period. Each figure becomes a caricature representing their respective countries - Scotland with its ruggedness and love for spirits, and Spain with its charm and indulgence in luxury. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how perceptions have evolved over time while showcasing the rich tapestry of human diversity that was celebrated at one of history's most iconic exhibitions.
