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 13th-century manuscript illustration depicts Ferdinand III of Castile and Leon (1199-1252), a pivotal monarch in the history of the Iberian Peninsula. Seated confidently on his ornate throne, Ferdinand is dressed in the regal attire befitting a king of his time. He wears a long, flowing cape, adorned with the House of Burgundy's distinctive checkered pattern, and a voluminous cloak. A crown rests atop his head, and a beard covers his chin, adding to his air of authority. Ferdinand's right hand holds a scepter, symbolizing his royal power, while his left hand rests on a book, the Manuscript Index of Royal Privileges, signifying his wisdom and rule of law. The rampant lion at his feet, a symbol of the Kingdom of Castile, underscores his connection to the land and people he ruled. Ferdinand's reign marked a significant period in the history of Spain. He extended the borders of the Kingdom of Castile and was also the King of Leon from 1230. In 1231, he captured the strategically important city of Toledo, further solidifying his power. Ferdinand's military campaigns against the Moors expanded Christian territory in the Iberian Peninsula, bringing him closer to achieving the Reconquista, the long-term goal of recovering all of Spain for Christianity. Interestingly, Ferdinand III was later canonized as a saint in the Catholic Church in 1670, further cementing his place in Spanish history. This magnificent miniature, housed in the Archive of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and power of the medieval monarchs who shaped the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages.
