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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Odysseus in Tartarus" takes us on a journey into the depths of Greek mythology. Created by an anonymous Spanish artist in the 19th century, this print showcases exceptional quality and attention to detail. In this scene, we witness Odysseus, the legendary hero of Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey" venturing into the treacherous realm of Tartarus. This underworld was believed to be a place where souls were sent after death, a dark and desolate cave filled with tormented spirits. With his sword at his side and determination etched upon his face, Odysseus fearlessly explores this eerie domain. The artist skillfully captures the essence of ancient superstitions and religious beliefs surrounding life after death. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of mankind's fascination with mortality throughout history. The image evokes a sense of wonder as it transports us back to an era when myths and legends shaped human understanding. "Odysseus in Tartarus" serves as a powerful reminder that even heroes must confront their fears and face the unknown. It symbolizes humanity's eternal quest for knowledge about our existence beyond earthly realms. Through its striking visuals and rich symbolism, this print invites viewers to contemplate their own beliefs about life, death, and what lies beyond. It stands as both a testament to artistic craftsmanship and an exploration of timeless themes that continue to captivate our imagination today.
