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 print titled "Ms. Palat. 218-220 Book IX Judgement and Punishment in the Aztec empire" takes us back to the ancient world of the Aztecs, offering a glimpse into their complex legal system. The image is sourced from the Florentine Codex, an invaluable historical document compiled by Bernardino de Sahagun during the 16th century. In this scene, we witness a solemn moment of judgment and punishment within the Aztec empire. A group of judges clad in traditional attire presides over a trial, seated beneath a towering branch symbolizing justice. Hanging ominously nearby are prisoners awaiting their fate, while native onlookers observe with curiosity and trepidation. The photograph transports us to Mesoamerica's pre-Hispanic tradition, shedding light on how law was administered in this fascinating civilization. It serves as a testament to Sahagun's dedication in documenting every aspect of Aztec life through his trilingual work – written by Nahuatl-speaking Aztec students under his guidance. Located at Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history and explore different cultures through art. As we contemplate this mesmerizing composition captured by an unknown Spanish artist centuries ago, it reminds us that justice has always been central to human societies across time and continents.
