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 photograph, Lady Helen Vincent, Viscountess D Abernon, gracefully glides across the ice at the renowned Princes Skating Rink in London. Born as Helen Venetia Vincent in 1866, she was a celebrated British peeress and socialite known for her exceptional beauty and elegance. In 1890, she married Sir Edgar Vincent, beginning a life of privilege and social distinction. During the tumultuous period of the First World War, Lady Helen demonstrated remarkable courage and dedication. She trained as a nurse anaesthetist and devoted herself to the care of thousands of wounded soldiers in allied military hospitals. Her selfless actions during this time further solidified her reputation as a woman of great compassion and strength. The year is 1910, and here, Lady D Abernon is captured in a moment of leisure and enjoyment.
