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.

Created in 1884 by Robert Swain Gifford, this print beautifully captures the essence of Poe's gothic horror masterpiece, "The Fall of the House of Usher". As we gaze upon this haunting image, we are transported to a world filled with melancholy and despair. The mansion depicted stands tall and imposing, its exterior exuding an eerie sense of gloominess. Towers and turrets rise ominously against a bleak backdrop, casting long shadows that seem to whisper tales of tragedy. Gifford skillfully brings to life the dark atmosphere that permeates Poe's story. Every stroke conveys a sense of foreboding as we imagine what secrets lie within those walls. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; each line contributes to the overall feeling of unease. "The House of Usher" serves as a visual representation not only for Poe's narrative but also for his unique ability to evoke emotions through his writing. It reminds us why he remains one of literature's most celebrated authors even today. This exquisite print transports us into the depths of Gothic horror and invites us to explore our own fascination with darkness and mystery. It serves as a testament to both Edgar Allan Poe's enduring legacy and Robert Swain Gifford's artistic prowess in capturing the essence of literary masterpieces through visual artistry.
