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 vintage engraving from 1870 by Gustave Dore captures a powerful scene from the Old Testament, depicting Jonathan's heroic act of destroying the Temple of Dagon. In this ancient civilization of the Middle East, religious illustrations held immense significance, and this historical war event showcases the clash between paganism and monotheism. Jonathan, an Israeli warrior of Jewish ethnicity, stands as a symbol of resistance against foreign gods and their influence in his land. With determination etched on his face, he engages in battle to demolish this place of worship dedicated to Dagon - a major deity among the Philistines. The black and white illustration exudes classical style while portraying the intensity and violence that accompanied military invasions during those times. As an engraved image with intricate details, it transports us back to a forbidden era where conflicts were not only physical but also deeply rooted in religious beliefs. Through this artwork inspired by biblical text, Gustave Dore masterfully captures both historical Palestine's past and timeless concepts such as sacrilege and forbidden acts. It serves as a reminder of our traditional cultures' rich history while shedding light on significant moments within Judaism and Christianity. This antique print is more than just art; it represents an important chapter in human history where individuals like Jonathan stood up for their faith amidst adversity. Duncan1890 has preserved this piece that continues to evoke emotions surrounding destruction, bravery, faithfulness, and cultural heritage.
