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.

Music and Love - A Melodic Rivalry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a timeless love story intertwined with the world of music. Depicting a caricature of renowned French composer Hector Berlioz and his first wife, Irish actress Harriet Smithson, this engraving beautifully portrays their tumultuous relationship. The image showcases two rival performers delicately balanced on one string and one bow, symbolizing the harmony they sought to achieve in both their personal lives and artistic endeavors. Berlioz, known for his passionate compositions, is portrayed as an intense male figure holding a violin while gazing at Smithson with adoration. On the other hand, Smithson's tragic tragedienne persona shines through her expressive portrait as she holds an arrow poised above her heart. Their union was marked by dramatic highs and lows that mirrored their respective careers. Berlioz fell deeply in love with Smithson after witnessing her powerful performances on stage but faced numerous obstacles before winning her heart. Their marriage eventually crumbled under the weight of miscommunication and infidelity. This evocative cartoon serves as a poignant reminder of the complex interplay between artistry and romance. It immortalizes two individuals who dedicated themselves to their craft while navigating the challenges that came with intertwining their lives together. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded that even within rivalry lies an undeniable connection fueled by music's enchanting power - forever entwined in history's symphony of love
