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 captures a fascinating glimpse into the ancient art of silk manufacturing in China. The image showcases two women engrossed in their meticulous tasks, surrounded by an air of grace and elegance. On the left side, we see a woman delicately drawing out silk threads with utmost precision. Her focused expression reveals her dedication to this intricate craft that has been passed down through generations. With skilled hands and unwavering patience, she transforms raw silk fibers into fine strands ready for further refinement. In the foreground, another woman is shown beating silk fibers in a trough using flails. This process helps to separate and soften the fibers, preparing them for weaving into luxurious fabrics. Despite the physical exertion required, her posture remains dignified as she carries out her work with determination. The scene depicted here is taken from "Court Ladies Preparing Newly-woven Silk" a painted silk handscroll attributed to Emperor Hui Tsung during the Sung Dynasty in the early 12th century. It is believed to be based on an earlier artwork from the Tang Dynasty in the 8th century. This mesmerizing snapshot offers us a window into China's rich textile heritage and highlights both the skill and labor involved in creating these exquisite silken masterpieces. It serves as a testament to centuries-old traditions upheld by dedicated artisans who have contributed greatly to Chinese culture and fashion throughout history.
