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.

INVOCATION TO MELANCHOLY - A Captivating Glimpse into Romantic Desolation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing photo print, titled "INVOCATION TO MELANCHOLY" takes us on a haunting journey through the depths of human emotions. Created in 1807 as an aquatint engraving by Richard Westall, it beautifully illustrates Henry Headley's poignant poem "An Invocation to Melancholy". The image transports us to a dark and desolate exterior scene, where a solitary figure dressed in a rich robe kneels before the ruins of a chapel. The atmosphere exudes melancholic romanticism, with its somber tones and eerie night setting. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we can almost feel the weight of sadness that surrounds the protagonist. With head bowed low in prayer and crossed hands clasped tightly together, he seems lost in his own world of introspection. The composition skillfully captures both despair and longing; it speaks volumes about the human condition. The intricate details bring out every nuance of emotion etched onto our protagonist's face – sorrowful eyes reflecting inner turmoil while contemplating life's complexities. Through this art piece, Westall masterfully translates Headley's poetic verses into visual form. It serves as an invitation for viewers to delve deep within themselves and explore their own relationship with melancholy – that bittersweet muse which often inspires creativity but also carries profound sadness. Intriguingly enigmatic yet undeniably
