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
1. Rievaulx Abbey: A Testament to Medieval Monastic Life in North Yorkshire Rievaulx Abbey, nestled in the picturesque valley of the Rye River in North Yorkshire, England, stands as a poignant reminder of the rich history and spiritual significance of medieval monastic life. This evocative image, captured by Historic England Photo Library, offers a general view of the ruins, inviting us to explore the intricacies of this once-thriving Gothic abbey. Founded in 1132 by twelve Cistercian monks from Rievaulx in France, the abbey flourished for over 300 years. Its architecture, characterized by the distinctive Gothic style, reflects the monks' commitment to the ideals of simplicity, austerity, and self-sufficiency. The abbey's grandeur, however, belied its primary function as a place of prayer, contemplation, and learning. The monks of Rievaulx Abbey cultivated the land, farmed the surrounding forests, and engaged in various crafts, ensuring the community's self-sufficiency. They also played a vital role in the spiritual and intellectual life of the region, providing education and spiritual guidance to the local population. The dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century, however, brought an abrupt end to the monastic life at Rievaulx Abbey. The abbey's once-magnificent structures were plundered for their valuable materials, leaving behind the hauntingly beautiful ruins that stand today. Despite the passage of time and the ravages of decay, Rievaulx Abbey continues to captivate visitors with its solemn beauty and the stories it tells of the monks who once called it home. This image, with its sweeping view of the abbey ruins, invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of medieval monasticism and the profound impact it had on the spiritual, cultural, and historical landscape of England.
