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.

Date back to 1934, this image was taken during their performance at the renowned Blackpool Tower Circus, a prestigious venue that showcased the best in entertainment of the era. The duo, consisting of Alda, the graceful and strong woman, and Doret, her equally skilled partner, defied gravity and convention with their breathtaking acrobatics. In this photograph, Alda is seen balancing precariously on Doret's outstretched arms, her expression a perfect blend of concentration and confidence. The audience, held in rapt attention, watches in awe as Doret skillfully supports her, their eyes fixed on the stage. Their act was a feast for the senses, filled with awe-inspiring balancing acts, daring leaps, and death-defying stunts. The women, dressed in vibrant costumes, added an extra touch of glamour and allure to their performance. But it was not just their physical abilities that left the audience spellbound; their chemistry and synchronicity were unmatched, creating a connection that transcended the stage.
