FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. 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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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 showcases the ancient and damaged head of Medusa, located at the Temple of Apollo in Didyma, Turkey. The illustration beautifully captures the front view of this historical artifact, portraying its decline and destruction over time. With a white background that accentuates its ugliness, this watercolor painting evokes a sense of melancholy as it transports us to the depths of history. The male likeness depicted in this illustrative technique adds an intriguing dimension to Medusa's mythology. Standing alone amidst the vast outdoors, devoid of any human presence, it serves as a poignant reminder of the temple's past grandeur and significance as an international landmark. Through careful brushstrokes and attention to detail, Dorling Kindersley has masterfully captured both the deterioration and beauty within this single object. The colors used in this horizontal composition bring life to Medusa's story while simultaneously emphasizing her gradual decay. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how time has taken its toll on such a remarkable statue. This piece invites contemplation about our own mortality and reminds us that even great structures can succumb to nature's relentless forces. With its rich history and symbolic meaning intertwined with Greek mythology, this illustration stands as a testament to humanity's fascination with storytelling through art across cultures throughout centuries gone by.
