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 ink and watercolor cartoon, titled "No.2," is an original work by the renowned British artist Thomas Rowlandson, created circa 1815. The whimsical image depicts a woman in a bonnet, determinedly walking at a brisk pace on a hot summer day. With a look of concentration on her face, she seems to have made up her mind to overtake the woman in front of her. As she eagerly turns to pass, however, the woman is taken aback by an unexpected sight. The woman in front, previously appearing angelic in the scorching heat, has transformed into a Gorgon, a mythical creature known for its petrifying gaze. The sudden revelation leaves the woman frozen in fear, her progress brought to an abrupt halt. This intriguing scene is one of ten original ink and watercolor drawings by Thomas Rowlandson, all signed by the artist and undated. The delicate interplay of ink and watercolor, as well as Rowlandson's keen sense of humor and storytelling ability, make this a truly captivating work of art. The image invites the viewer to ponder the unexpected twists and turns of life, and the importance of appearances. Thomas Rowlandson was a prolific artist, known for his satirical and humorous works. His ability to capture the human condition in all its complexity and absurdity is evident in this charming and intriguing cartoon. This image, with its rich history and timeless themes, is a must-have for any serious art collector or enthusiast.
