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 print showcases a mesmerizing quote from King Henry VIII's play, beautifully captured by the talented artist Holbein the Younger. The words ""Mens evil manners live in brass: there virtues we write in water"" resonate deeply, reminding us of the transient nature of human behavior and the enduring power of virtuous deeds. Published in the 1920s as part of The Complete Works of Shakespeare by George Harrap & Co Ltd, this color lithograph exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Gertrude Demain Hammond's skillful touch brings out the essence of Shakespeare's timeless words, making them come alive on paper. The image transports us to a world where costumes, comedy, tragedy, history, and drama intertwine seamlessly. It serves as a poignant reminder that literature has always been at the heart of our cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of William Shakespeare's genius but also his profound impact on English literature. Let this exquisite artwork inspire you to delve into Shakespeare's works once more or perhaps discover them for the first time. May it serve as a constant reminder that while evil may be etched into memory like brass does onto stone, it is our virtues that leave an indelible mark on humanity – just like writing in water.
