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.

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 woodcut print titled "BISHOP AND GENTLEMAN" is a remarkable piece from the Latin edition of The Dance of Death, printed in Paris, France in 1490. Created by Guyot Marchand for publisher Geoffroi de Marnef, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of medieval symbolism and allegory. In this scene, we witness an intriguing encounter between a bishop and a nobleman. Both figures are depicted with meticulous detail and convey distinct emotions. The bishop stands tall and regal, adorned in his ecclesiastical robes, while the gentleman exudes an air of nobility through his elegant attire. The underlying theme of mortality is evident as they both face the personification of death himself - the grim reaper. This representation serves as a reminder that death does not discriminate based on social status or religious affiliation. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of Renaissance architecture, this woodcut transports us back to a time when plague ravaged Europe and mortality was ever-present. It invites contemplation on life's transience and prompts reflection on our own mortality. With its intricate craftsmanship and historical significance, this woodcut print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into medieval artistry while contemplating profound themes such as faith, mortality, and the dance between life and death itself.
