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
In this intriguing image from ancient Greece, Athenodorus, the renowned Stoic philosopher, is depicted in deep contemplation as he stands before a haunted house. Dated circa 7 AD, this historical photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into an extraordinary tale of ghostly encounters and archaeological discoveries. Athenodorus, a prominent figure in the Stoic school of philosophy, was known for his wisdom and rational thinking. However, an unexpected turn of events led him to rent a house that was rumored to be haunted. The locals spoke of strange apparitions and unexplained noises that emanated from the house at night. Despite the warnings, Athenodorus was intrigued by the mystery and decided to investigate. As the nights grew darker, the philosopher began to experience inexplicable occurrences. He would hear whispers and footsteps in the dead of night, and on one occasion, he saw an apparition that led him to a hidden chamber in the house. To his astonishment, he discovered the remains of improperly buried bones, which were later identified as the remains of long-lost ancestors. This ghostly encounter marked the first recorded investigation of its kind in history. Athenodorus' discovery not only quelled the fears of the local community but also provided valuable insights into the archaeology and history of the region. The philosopher's courage and curiosity paved the way for future investigations into the paranormal, demonstrating that even the most rational of minds can be intrigued by the unexplained. This haunting image of Athenodorus, with the backdrop of the eerie house, serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with the unknown and the power of human curiosity to uncover the mysteries of the past.
