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 showcases the beginning of the Prologue to Geoffrey Chaucer's renowned literary masterpiece, "The Canterbury Tales". The image captures a page from William Caxton's second edition of this iconic work, dating back to 1484. As one gazes upon this historical artifact, they are transported back in time to the medieval era, where English literature flourished and tales were woven with poetic brilliance. The photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details of Caxton's printing techniques and the elegant calligraphy that adorns each line. It serves as a testament to Chaucer's enduring legacy and his contribution to shaping English literature. "The Canterbury Tales" is an anthology of stories told by a diverse group of pilgrims on their journey to Canterbury Cathedral. This prologue sets the stage for these tales, introducing us to memorable characters such as the Knight, Miller, Wife of Bath, and many more. Through his vivid descriptions and witty narrative style, Chaucer provides insights into human nature while offering social commentary on medieval society. As we admire this print from Granger Art on Demand titled "CHAUCER: CANTERBURY TALES" we are reminded of how literature has transcended time and continues to captivate readers across generations. It invites us into a world filled with imagination, wit, and profound storytelling – an eternal tribute to Geoffrey Chaucer's genius.
