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
In this evocative photograph, a Kazakh man dressed in traditional attire works diligently in a sun-kissed field, wielding a scythe to cut and make hay. The man wears a chapan, a quilted dressing gown that is a staple of Kazakh clothing, and a kalpak, a felt hat with a distinctive upturned brim. The chapan, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, adds a pop of contrast against the golden hues of the hay and the earthy tones of the man's clothing. The scene transports us back to the 20th century, where the rhythm of rural life was dictated by the changing seasons and the demands of the land. The man's focused expression and the deft way he holds the scythe speak to the skill and experience that comes from a lifetime of agricultural labor. The hay, which will be used as fodder for livestock during the winter months, is piled high in the foreground, a testament to the man's hard work and the importance of this task in ensuring the survival of his community. This photograph captures the essence of Kazakh farming culture, where the connection to the land and the traditions of the past remain deeply rooted in daily life. The man's simple yet powerful gesture of cutting hay with a scythe is a reminder of the enduring strength and resilience of rural communities and the vital role they play in agricultural production. The scene is a beautiful and poignant representation of the rich cultural heritage and the unwavering spirit of the Kazakh people.
