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
Patroclus in Battle: A Fateful Encounter with Hector from The Iliad" In this evocative image from The Iliad, Patroclus, the loyal friend of the legendary Greek hero Achilles, stands resolute in the heat of battle. Dressed in the armor of his absent friend, Patroclus had donned it to protect the Greeks from the relentless onslaught of the Trojans. However, this brave act of friendship would ultimately lead to his tragic demise. The scene depicts Patroclus locked in a fierce combat with Hector, the formidable Trojan prince. Hector, armed with his spear and shield, is shown delivering a powerful blow to Patroclus, who defiantly holds his ground. The expression on Patroclus' face is one of determination and resolve, as he fights not just for himself, but for his friend and his people. The classical setting of the image, with its intricate details and rich colors, transports us back to the ancient world of myth and legend. The historical significance of the scene is underscored by the fact that it is taken from Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, which has captivated readers for over 2,700 years. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of friendship and the sacrifices that friends are willing to make for each other. It also highlights the timeless themes of war, honor, and heroism that continue to resonate with us today. Despite the tragic outcome of this encounter, Patroclus' bravery and selflessness are celebrated in Greek mythology as an example of true friendship. This powerful image captures the essence of that story, immortalizing Patroclus' heroic act and his fateful encounter with Hector.
