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 striking handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Migliavacca after Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," depicts a knight dressed in the ceremonial robes of the Distinguished Order of the Golden Fleece. Established in 1430 by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, this prestigious chivalric order was open to European monarchs, high-ranking nobles, and ecclesiastical dignitaries. The knight wears a voluminous robe adorned with the emblem of the Golden Fleece, a symbol of the Order's name and origin, which represents the fleece that saved Jason from certain death in Greek mythology. The knight's uniform is completed with a white surcoat, a red sash, and a golden collar, all embellished with the Order's insignia. He also wears a tall, conical hat, known as a morion, which was a common headpiece in the Spanish army during the 1800s. The knight carries a tobacco pipe in his left hand, a popular accessory during this period, and holds a sword in his right. The knight's military background is evident from the various emblems and insignia of other high chivalric orders that adorn his robes. These include the Cross of the Teutonic Order, the Star of the Order of the Garter, and the Cross of the Order of the Bath. The presence of these insignia suggests that this knight may have been a member of multiple orders and held significant military rank, possibly as a commander in the Spanish army during the Napoleonic Wars or the Peninsula War. This illustration, which dates back to 1829, offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the chivalric orders of the 1800s, as well as the military uniforms and traditions of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcoloured engraving bring the image to life, making it a valuable historical and artistic treasure.
