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
Milton's 'Comus' comes to life in this enchanting illustration by Arthur Rackham. The scene depicts the moment when the wonted roar of Comus and his band of monstrous revelers fills the woods and the air with barbarous dissonance. Based on John Milton's 1634 masque, 'Comus: A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle,' this illustration captures the historical and fantastical elements of the text. Milton's narrative follows the story of a young woman named Lady, who is lost in the woods and encounters Comus, the god of rural delights. Comus attempts to seduce Lady with his enchantments, but she remains steadfast in her virtue, ultimately escaping his clutches with the help of her brother and the virtues personified. Rackham's illustration beautifully captures the moment of Comus' revelry, with the monstrous figures running through the woods, their joyous roars filling the air. The folklore and mythology of the time come to life in this vivid and intricately detailed image. The historical significance of Milton's text is brought to the forefront, as we are transported back to the 17th century and the world of ancient myths and legends. The intricate details of Rackham's illustration invite close examination, from the flowing robes of the revelers to the intricate patterns adorning their bodies. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the scene, creating a truly magical and otherworldly atmosphere. This illustration is a must-have for any collector of historical literature, folklore, or the works of Arthur Rackham. It is a testament to the enduring power of Milton's text and the ability of illustration to bring words to life in a truly captivating way.
