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 marble bust, a Roman copy of a Greek original from the 3rd century BC, showcases the intense and thoughtful visage of Demosthenes, the renowned Athenian orator and statesman of ancient Greece. Born in Athens in 384 BC, Demosthenes is celebrated for his eloquence and passion in advocating for the interests of Athens during the tumultuous political climate of the 4th century BC. As the city-state faced numerous challenges, including invasions by Macedon and internal strife, Demosthenes emerged as a powerful voice for Athenian democracy. His speeches, delivered with fervor and conviction, inspired the people to resist foreign aggression and preserve their freedom. The intricately carved marble bust, now housed in the Neues Museum (New Museum) in Berlin, Germany, captures the essence of Demosthenes' unwavering determination and intellectual prowess. With his deeply furrowed brow and scowl, the bust conveys the intensity and focus of the great orator, whose influence on Greek and Western political thought continues to resonate through the ages. As a symbol of ancient Greek culture and the enduring power of oratory, this bust invites us to reflect on the rich history of the classical world and the timeless wisdom it has bequeathed to us. The bust's presence in the Neues Museum, a renowned institution dedicated to the preservation and study of world cultural heritage, is a testament to the enduring significance of Demosthenes and the ancient Greek civilization he represented.
