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
Centaurs: Mythical Horsemen of Ancient Greece (BCE) This image portrays a scene of Centaurs, legendary creatures from Greek mythology, depicted as skilled horsemen. Centaurs are unique beings that combine the attributes of both horses and men. Their upper bodies are human, while their lower bodies are those of powerful horses. The exact dietary habits of Centaurs are not recorded in ancient texts, leaving room for speculation. Some accounts suggest they consumed human food, while others claim they subsisted on oats and other plant matter. This evocative print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of these fascinating creatures. Centaurs have long been a subject of fascination for artists, writers, and scholars, and their image has been a common motif in ancient art, literature, and even modern popular culture. In this scene, the Centaurs are shown in military formation, demonstrating their mastery of horseback riding and their warrior spirit. Their human intelligence and horse strength make them formidable opponents in battle, and they were often depicted as fierce protectors or destructive forces, depending on the specific myth. The origins of the Centaurs are shrouded in myth, with some accounts tracing their lineage back to the union of Ixion, a mortal man, and the goddess Hera. Others believe they were created by the gods as a gift to mankind, or as a punishment for mankind's hubris. Regardless of their origins, the Centaurs remain an enduring symbol of the ancient world, and this print offers a captivating glimpse into the mythology, history, and art of ancient Greece.
