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
The print titled "NAST: SPOILS SYSTEM, 1881. Our Stumbling-Block" captures an American cartoon by Thomas Nast from the late 19th century. In this thought-provoking artwork, Nast highlights the detrimental effects of the spoils system on business and prosperity in America. The spoils system refers to a political practice where elected officials reward their supporters with government positions and favors. However, Nast's illustration suggests that this system obstructs progress and hinders economic growth. The image portrays a block labeled "Spoils System" placed right in front of a path representing business and commerce. Through his artistic depiction, Nast emphasizes how the spoils system acts as an obstacle preventing statesmen from effectively carrying out their duties for the benefit of society. This visual commentary serves as a critique of corruption within politics during that era. Nast was renowned for his influential cartoons which often tackled social and political issues. His work played a significant role in shaping public opinion at the time, making him one of America's most prominent cartoonists. This historical photograph provides us with valuable insight into both the challenges faced by American society during this period and how artists like Thomas Nast used their craft to shed light on these issues. It serves as a reminder that even today, we must remain vigilant against practices that hinder progress and strive towards creating systems that promote fairness, transparency, and prosperity for all citizens.
