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 evocative image captures a pivotal moment from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's classic German drama, Faust. In the scene depicted, the tormented protagonist Faust, played by the renowned actor Friedrich von Ledebur, gazes in horror as the sinister Black Dog appears before him. Faust, a brilliant but disillusioned scholar, has made a pact with the devil, Mephistopheles, played by the legendary Wilhelm von Hauff, in exchange for youth and worldly pleasures. The Black Dog, a symbol of death and the supernatural, is a common motif in both Goethe's Faust and in German folk lore. It is said to herald the arrival of the Grim Reaper, and its appearance is a harbinger of impending doom. In this scene, Faust has been warned by the good witch, Gretchen, that the Black Dog will be a sign of his impending destruction. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a glimpse into the rich history of German literature and theater. Goethe's Faust, first published in 1808, is considered one of the greatest works of world literature. The play, which blends elements of tragedy, comedy, and the supernatural, has had a profound influence on European culture and continues to be performed and adapted to this day. The image also offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century German theater, with its elaborate costumes, dramatic lighting, and expressive acting. The actors, who were part of the prestigious German Theater in Leipzig, are shown in full costume, with von Ledebur's intense expression and von Hauff's menacing posture adding to the sense of foreboding. Overall, this image captures the timeless and haunting power of Goethe's Faust and the enduring allure of the supernatural in German folklore.
