Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

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
"Medusa, the Enchanting Monster: A Mythological Tale of Transformation (Anon) In the annals of classical mythology, the name Medusa evokes a sense of terror and awe. As the chief of the Gorgons, she was a fearsome creature with serpents for hair and a face so terrible that anyone who dared to gaze upon it was instantly turned to stone. The very sight of her visage was said to be a lethal curse. Medusa's story is one of transformation and redemption, a tale that has captivated the imagination of generations. According to legend, she was once a beautiful maiden, beloved by the gods. However, she was seduced by Poseidon in Athena's temple, an act of sacrilege that enraged the goddess. In retaliation, Athena transformed Medusa's once-lovely features into a grotesque visage, granting her the power to petrify with a single glance. Despite her fearsome appearance, Medusa was not invulnerable. The hero Perseus, renowned for his bravery and cunning, was determined to slay the Gorgon and claim her head as a prize. Armed with the miraculous shield of Athena and the powerful sword of Perseus' father, the hero approached Medusa's lair. Perseus knew that to look directly at Medusa would mean certain death. Instead, he used the reflection of his mirrored shield to avoid gazing upon her terrible face. With a swift strike, he severed her head, thus fulfilling his quest. This haunting image of Medusa, the Gorgon with the terrible face, is a reminder of the power of myth and the enduring allure of the ancient world. As we gaze upon her visage, we are transported to a time long past, a time of gods and monsters, of heroes and legends. And though she may be a creature of stone, her story continues to captivate and inspire us." Image Credit: Mary Evans Picture Library, Mary Evans Prints Online.
