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
In this historical image, we witness a remarkable moment in Chinese legend as the revered patriarch Bodhidharma, also known as Ta-Mo or Po-Ti, crosses the mighty Yangtse River. The scene unfolds with the serene figure of Bodhidharma, who is believed to be the founder of the Chan (Zen) Buddhism in China, standing steadfastly on a single reed, which miraculously ferries him across the river. The Yangtse River, one of the longest in Asia, has always been a formidable natural barrier, yet the reed, in an act of obedience or perhaps a supernatural intervention, carries the weight of the great Bodhidharma effortlessly. The image captures the essence of the deep reverence and faith that the Chinese people held towards their spiritual leaders, as well as their belief in the paranormal and the miraculous. Bodhidharma, an Indian prince turned monk, is said to have traveled to China in the 5th or 6th century AD to spread the teachings of Buddha. His arrival marked a significant turning point in Chinese Buddhism, as his unique approach emphasized meditation and personal experience over scriptural learning. The legend of Bodhidharma crossing the Yangtse River on a reed has been passed down through generations, immortalizing his journey and inspiring awe and wonder. This evocative photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Chinese history, culture, and spirituality, transporting us back in time to an era of faith, miracles, and the indomitable human spirit.
