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
This enchanting image, first published in 1634, captures the essence of Milton's famous lines from his masque "Comus." The poet describes the stars as "The Stars that Nature hangs in Heav'n, and fills them with her everlasting oil, to give due light to the misled and lonely Traveler." Milton's words resonate deeply with the feeling of being lost in the night, surrounded by the vast expanse of the universe. The image of the stars hanging in the heavens, their lamps filled with everlasting oil, offers a sense of comfort and guidance to those who may be feeling lost or alone. The historical significance of this print is not to be understated. It is a visual representation of the poetic mastery of John Milton, who wrote "Comus" in 1634, during a time when the arts were flourishing in England. Milton's masque was a popular form of entertainment, often performed for royalty and the elite. The image of the stars against a dark night sky is a common theme in literature and art, and has been a source of inspiration for countless writers, poets, and artists throughout history. This print, with its intricate details and beautiful composition, invites us to pause and reflect on the beauty and mystery of the night sky. Whether you are an avid reader of Milton's works, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world, this print is a must-have for any collection. It is a reminder of the power of the written word, the beauty of the night sky, and the enduring allure of the stars.
