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
In this illustration, Leandre's fury reaches its peak as he smashes a guitar on Matamores' head. The intense moment is beautifully captured by Gustave Dore in his engraving for "Captain Fracass", a novel written by Theophile Gautier in 1863. Dore's intricate attention to detail brings the scene to life, showcasing the dramatic clash between these two characters. Leandre's face contorted with anger and determination contrasts sharply with Matamores' stunned expression, capturing the essence of their conflict. The choice of a guitar as the instrument of destruction adds an intriguing layer to the composition. Symbolizing both artistic expression and rebellion, it emphasizes Leandre's defiance against Matamores' authority. This act becomes more than just an act of violence; it becomes a statement against oppression and conformity. As we delve into this engraving, we are transported back to 19th century France, where commedia dell'arte reigned supreme in theater circles. Dore masterfully incorporates elements from this Italian theatrical tradition into his work, infusing it with energy and flair. This powerful image serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with social commentary. It invites us to explore themes of rebellion and individuality within society while appreciating Dore's skillful craftsmanship.
