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.

The Able Doctor, or America Swallowing the Bitter Draught
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and thought-provoking engraving by Paul Revere that captures the turbulent times of pre-revolutionary America. Created for the Royal American Magazine in June 1774, this print showcases Revere's exceptional talent as an artist. The image depicts a scene filled with symbolism and satire. In response to the Boston Tea Party, which led to the passing of the Port Bill on March 31st, several prominent figures are portrayed. Lord Mansfield, Lord Chief Justice, stands tall as Britannia forcefully feeds a bitter draught to America represented by a teapot. This act represents Britain's oppressive measures against its colonies. Revere's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving. The harbor in the background serves as a reminder of Boston's significance during this period of unrest. The composition exudes tension and resistance while highlighting America's struggle for independence. This artwork not only reflects historical events but also raises questions about power dynamics and colonial oppression. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as freedom, rebellion, and national identity. As we gaze upon "The Able Doctor" we are transported back in time to witness one of history's defining moments through artistry at its finest. It reminds us that even amidst adversity, resilience can be found – just like America swallowing the bitter draught on its path towards liberty.
