23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
The captivating print "Saul and the Witch of Endor, 1792" transports us to a scene from the Bible, specifically 1 Samuel 28. In this powerful image, we witness King Saul's desperate attempt to communicate with the deceased prophet Samuel through the aid of a witch. The woman, depicted as an enigmatic figure with her magical abilities, brings forth Samuel from beneath the earth in an act known as necromancy. This monochrome engraving by Henry Fuseli captures both the intensity and complexity of this biblical event. It showcases not only Saul's yearning for guidance but also his promise not to harm the witch who facilitates this supernatural encounter. Set against an eighteenth-century backdrop, this print delves into themes of communication and spirituality within Christianity. It serves as a reminder of mankind's eternal fascination with life after death and our desire for divine intervention. Fuseli masterfully portrays each character's emotions - Saul's anticipation mixed with trepidation; the witch’s mysterious power; and Samuel’s ethereal presence emerging from beneath the ground. This visual representation invites contemplation on faith, mortality, and human limitations when faced with forces beyond our comprehension. As we explore this remarkable piece of artistry from Jean Henri Fuseli (also known as Johann Heinrich Füssli), it is impossible not to be captivated by its rich symbolism and profound religious significance.
