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
is a captivating print that brings to life the essence of Tennyson's poem and the Arthurian legend. Created by John William Waterhouse, this illustration depicts the Lady of Shalott in a state of boredom as she sits weaving. The artist skillfully captures her distracted gaze, hinting at her longing for something more than the monotonous task before her. Beside her, a window awaits, symbolizing both escape and danger. It is through this very window that she will catch sight of Sir Lancelot and fall hopelessly in love with him. However, as fate would have it, her love remains unrequited, leading to her tragic demise from a broken heart. The painting exudes an air of melancholy and yearning through its use of color and composition. The vibrant reds contrast with the somber tones surrounding the Lady of Shalott, emphasizing her isolation within this mythical world. Waterhouse's attention to detail transports us back to 20th century England and immerses us in the rich tapestry of Arthurian mythology. Through his brushstrokes, he brings alive not only Tennyson's words but also our own emotions as we witness the lady's struggle between duty and desire. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even legends are not immune to human experiences such as boredom and unrequited love. It invites us to delve into literature and art alike while contemplating our own desires and aspirations beyond mere
