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 image features a detail from the Jewish Cervera Bible, a rare and intriguing work of Mozarabic art dating back to approximately 1299. The image, found on Folio 443 of the treatise "Sefer Mikhlol" by David Qimhi, depicts an unusual collection of fish. Each fish is depicted with the heads of humans, birds, and wildcats, creating a striking and fantastical scene. David Qimhi, also known as Radak, was a prominent 13th-century Jewish scholar and commentator, born in Spain around 1160. His seminal work, "Sefer Mikhlol," is a comprehensive grammatical treatise that aimed to clarify the Hebrew language and its usage. The Cervera Bible, which contains this treatise, is named after the Spanish town of Cervera where it was discovered in the late 19th century. The image of the fish with human, bird, and wildcat heads is a fascinating example of the unique artistic style of Mozarabic art, which emerged in the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. This style blended Jewish, Christian, and Islamic influences, resulting in a rich visual tapestry that reflects the complex cultural history of the region. The text surrounding the image is written in Hebrew, further emphasizing the Jewish origin of the manuscript. The National Library in Lisbon, Portugal, is currently the proud custodian of this precious artifact, preserving it for future generations to study and appreciate.
