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 from The Granger Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history during the 16th century. In this scene, we witness a Catholic priest fearlessly preaching against King Edward VI and advocating for Bishop Edmund Bonner at Saint Pauls Cross in 1553. As he passionately delivers his sermon, an act of violence unfolds before our eyes as a dagger is hurled towards him. The line engraving, originating from an English edition of John Foxe's renowned work "The Book of Martyrs" captures the intensity and tension surrounding religious conflicts during the time of the Reformation. The congregation stands as witnesses to this dramatic event, their expressions reflecting shock and disbelief. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the deep divisions that existed between Catholics and Protestants during this era. It encapsulates both the fervent dedication of those who fought for their beliefs and the violent opposition they faced. Through its historical significance, this print invites us to reflect on how religion has shaped societies throughout time. It reminds us that even within places considered sacred, such as Saint Pauls Cross, clashes over faith could lead to acts of aggression. As we gaze upon this engraving, let us remember those who risked everything in pursuit of religious freedom while acknowledging the complexities inherent in these struggles for power and belief systems that continue to shape our world today.
