Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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 powerful print captures the chilling scene of the killing of Anabaptists in Amsterdam in 1535. The image depicts a grim moment in history, showcasing the extreme cruelty and discrimination faced by this religious group during the Reformation era. In the foreground, a dead Anabaptist hangs lifelessly from a forked post, his body destined to be dumped into the unforgiving sea. Meanwhile, others are strung up by their heels as an ominous reminder of their fate. This line engraving from an 18th century English edition of John Foxe's Book of Martyrs evokes a sense of horror and despair. The setting is hauntingly maritime with an ocean backdrop and boats nearby, emphasizing that these atrocities took place within Amsterdam itself. The gallows serve as symbols of punishment for those who dared to challenge Catholic doctrine during this tumultuous time. Through this historical image, we are confronted with the brutal reality faced by Anabaptists who were considered heretics and subjected to persecution for their beliefs. It serves as a somber reminder of how intolerance can lead to unimaginable acts against humanity. The Granger Collection has preserved this significant piece that sheds light on one aspect of religious strife during the 16th century.
