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
Monkeys at Work: A Scene from the Tea Plantations of China This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, depicts an intriguing scene from the tea plantations of China. In the image, a group of monkeys can be seen gathering leaves from tea bushes high up on a mountain. The monkeys, dressed in baskets or harnesses, reach out with their hands and dexterously pluck the tender leaves from the branches. The tea plant, Camellia sinensis, is known for its small, delicate leaves that are used to produce the world's most popular beverage. The monkeys' master, who is not visible in the image, likely trains these primates to perform this laborious task. Tea leaves picked by monkeys are believed to produce a superior quality of tea due to their gentle handling and selective picking. This traditional practice, known as "monkey-picked tea," has been a part of Chinese tea culture for centuries. The engraving, taken from the book "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc." published by Howlett and Brimmer in London in 1824, showcases the unique relationship between humans and animals in the tea industry. The handcoloured copperplate technique adds a rich, vibrant quality to the image, making it a captivating representation of the tea plantations in China during the early 19th century.
