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
1. Title: "The Majestic North Gate of Mycenae: A Testament to Ancient Civilization" This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and mystery of the North Gate of Mycenae, an architectural marvel built around 1250 BC in Argolis, Peloponnese, Greece. This iconic structure, a key component of the ancient Mycenaean civilization, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and artistic prowess of its creators. The North Gate, with its four massive blocks of monolithic conglomerate, is a striking example of Mycenaean architecture. The architrave, a horizontal beam supported by columns or posts, rests atop the blocks, showcasing the intricate carvings and designs that have endured the test of time. The Mycenaean civilization, one of the earliest known civilizations in Europe, flourished from approximately 1600 to 1100 BC. Mycenae, its most famous city, was a center of power, trade, and culture. The North Gate, a symbol of the city's defensive might, served as a crucial entryway into the acropolis, or citadel, protecting its inhabitants from invaders. The North Gate's construction required immense planning, engineering skills, and labor. The monolithic blocks, each weighing several tons, were carefully quarried, transported, and positioned with precision. The gate's intricate carvings, which depict various mythological scenes, demonstrate the artistic abilities of the Mycenaean people. Today, the North Gate of Mycenae continues to captivate visitors from around the world, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Greece. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Mycenaean civilization and the incredible achievements of its people.
