FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
In this print titled "MYTHOLOGY: HERCULES" we are transported back to ancient Rome, where the legendary hero Hercules is depicted in a moment of great bravery and strength. The Italian woodcut title-page from 1550 beautifully captures the essence of this iconic mythological tale. Hercules, known for his extraordinary courage and god-like abilities, stands tall as he confronts the fearsome Hydra. With its multiple serpent heads poised to strike, the monster represents evil itself. Undeterred by the daunting challenge before him, Hercules fearlessly wields his weapon, ready to slay the beast. This image serves as a powerful reminder of both human resilience and divine intervention. As a deity in Hellenic mythology, Hercules embodies not only physical prowess but also moral virtue. His triumph over the Hydra symbolizes humanity's ability to overcome adversity and conquer our inner demons. The intricate details of this woodcut bring depth and life to every element within it - from Hercules' muscular physique to each writhing head of the Hydra. It transports us into an ancient world filled with mythical creatures and epic battles. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry by Granger Art on Demand, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless appeal. It serves as a testament to our fascination with heroic tales that transcend time and culture while reminding us that even in darkness, there is always hope for victory against all odds.
