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 powerful print captures the martyrdom of Richard Bayfield, a courageous figure who met his tragic fate in 1531. The image is taken from John Foxe's renowned work "Acts and Monuments" also known as "Foxe's Book of Martyrs". In this woodcut, we witness the solemn dignity with which Bayfield faced his persecution. Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, Bayfield stands tall amidst the flames that engulf him. His outstretched arms symbolize both his unwavering faith and his defiance against religious intolerance. Despite the spears pointed towards him and the burning pyre beneath him, he remains steadfast in prayer. Bayfield was a former monk who had assisted William Tyndale in translating the Bible into English. This act alone made him a target for religious persecution during a time when Protestant beliefs were met with hostility. Ultimately, he paid the ultimate price for his convictions - being burnt at Smithfield in London. The composition of this woodcut evokes deep emotions as it portrays not only one man's sacrifice but also serves as a reminder of those who suffered similar fates during this tumultuous era. It serves as an important historical document that sheds light on religious struggles and highlights the strength individuals can find even in their darkest moments. This poignant image reminds us to reflect upon our own values and appreciate those who have fought for freedom of belief throughout history.
