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
The Story of Augustus, Who Would Not Have Any Soup" is a classic children's tale penned by German author Heinrich Hoffmann in 1845, and this image from Mary Evans Picture Library brings the story to life. The illustration depicts the unfortunate Augustus, a plump and disgruntled child, sitting at a table with an empty bowl and a steaming pot of soup in front of him. His face is scrunched up in a tantrum, his hands clenched in defiance, and his straw hat lies discarded on the floor. Augustus' refusal to eat the soup was not a mere whim or a moment of pickiness. In Hoffmann's original telling of the story, Augustus' disorderly behavior continued for five days, each day with a new food that he refused to eat. By the fifth day, Augustus had perished, leaving a valuable lesson for children about the importance of eating a balanced diet. This image, published in 1847, is a visual representation of the story's moral, which remains relevant even today. The historical significance of "The Story of Augustus" lies in its role as an early example of children's literature, and its impact on the development of the genre. Hoffmann's collection of moral tales, which includes "The Story of Augustus," was one of the first books for children to be published in Germany and was widely popular in Europe and the United States. The image's intricate details, from the folds of Augustus' clothing to the texture of the soup, transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the world of 19th-century children's literature. This print is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of children's books or the art of illustration.
