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.

A Song of the English - Auckland
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an illustration from a patriotic set of poems by Rudyard Kipling, first published in the English Illustrated Magazine in 1893. This illustration depicts a native woman and her baby, sitting by the tranquil waters of a river in Auckland, New Zealand. The last and loveliest city of the English realm, Auckland is portrayed as exquisitely apart, surrounded by lush greenery and tropical vegetation. The woman, dressed in traditional Maori attire, gazes intently at the water, her expression reflecting a deep connection to the land and her heritage. Her baby, nestled in her lap, looks up at her with innocent curiosity. The scene is set against a backdrop of misty trees and rolling hills, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that transports us to a bygone era. This illustration was published during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, a time when jingoistic and patriotic sentiments were prevalent in literature and the arts. Kipling's poems, with their evocative language and vivid imagery, captured the hearts and minds of the English people, instilling a sense of pride and belonging. The illustration's use of color and composition perfectly complements the text, bringing Kipling's words to life. The rich greens of the foliage, the cool blues of the water, and the warm browns of the earth create a harmonious balance that speaks to the beauty and diversity of New Zealand's natural landscape. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time and place far removed from our own, allowing us to appreciate the history and cultural significance of Auckland and the people who call it home. This illustration is a testament to the power of literature and art to transport us to new worlds and broaden our horizons.
