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 haunting watercolor painting by Dorling Kindersley captures the tragic moment of Titus Oates walking to his death at the South Pole. Set against a white background, the full-length illustration depicts a mid-adult man braving the treacherous conditions of the Antarctic night. The artist's use of cold colors and ominous shadows adds to the sense of foreboding that permeates this historical scene. Titus Oates, an integral member of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition in 1912, sacrificed himself for his companions when they became trapped in extreme weather conditions. As depicted in this artwork, Oates made a selfless decision to leave their tent and face certain death outside, hoping that his absence would increase their chances of survival. The desolate snowscape is marked by Oates' solitary footprints leading away from the tent towards oblivion. This image serves as a poignant reminder of both human resilience and vulnerability in hostile environments. It encapsulates not only one man's sacrifice but also speaks to larger themes such as exploration, endurance, and camaraderie. Dorling Kindersley's watercolor painting transports us back to a pivotal moment in history when men pushed themselves beyond physical limits for scientific discovery. Through its evocative style and attention to detail, this print invites viewers to reflect on our collective past while contemplating humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge amidst adversity.
