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
The captivating steel engraving, "Marriage a la Mode: Visit to the Quack Doctor" transports viewers back to the 18th century with its intricate details and satirical narrative. Created in c1860 by William Hogarth, this print captures a moment of both humor and social commentary. In this scene, we witness an English couple seeking medical advice from a dubious quack doctor. The husband anxiously observes as his wife sits before the doctor, who holds a skull – symbolizing his questionable expertise. Hogarth's sharp wit shines through as he highlights the absurdity of relying on such charlatans for healthcare. The composition is richly detailed, showcasing Hogarth's mastery of storytelling through visual elements. Every character's expression and body language speak volumes about their personalities and motivations. The woman appears skeptical yet hopeful for relief from her ailments while her husband displays concern mixed with skepticism. Hogarth was renowned for his ability to use art as a medium for social critique, often focusing on themes like marriage and societal norms. In "Marriage a la Mode: Visit to the Quack Doctor" he cleverly exposes not only the gullibility of individuals but also society's tendency to prioritize appearances over substance. This remarkable print serves as both entertainment and reflection on human folly, reminding us that even centuries later, some aspects of human nature remain unchanged.
