FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 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 print captures a Roman relief from the 2nd century A. D. , depicting the legendary Ulysses passing the treacherous isle of the Sirens. The ancient artwork showcases a pivotal moment in Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey" where Ulysses and his crew navigate through perilous waters. In this scene, Ulysses' ship sails past an enchanting island inhabited by seductive Sirens whose mesmerizing songs lure sailors to their doom. With great determination and cunning, Ulysses orders his men to plug their ears with wax while he himself remains tied to the mast, unable to resist the allure of these mythical creatures. This visual representation beautifully portrays both the danger and resilience present in this timeless tale. The Roman relief offers a glimpse into maritime life during ancient times, showcasing an intricately designed galley sailing through turbulent waters. The attention to detail in this art piece highlights not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance as it provides insight into transportation methods during Rome's Iron Age. As we admire this antique masterpiece, we are reminded of the enduring power of mythological stories that continue to captivate audiences across generations. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with adventure and our eternal quest for knowledge and self-discovery.
