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 evocative photograph captures the Clock Tower of Saint Photinie, a historic landmark in Izmir, Turkey, formerly known as Smyrna. The tower is an integral part of the Church of Saint Photinie, which was built in the late 19th century during the Ottoman Empire. Saint Photinie, also known as the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, is a significant figure in Christian tradition. According to the Gospel of John (Chapter IV), she was the woman with whom Jesus had a profound conversation about living water, leading her to become a disciple. Saint Photinie's name means 'light,' symbolizing the enlightenment she received from Jesus Christ. The martyred Saint Photinie is believed to have been executed during the reign of the Roman Emperor Nero. The church and clock tower were built in her honor, serving as a testament to her enduring faith and legacy. The clock tower, with its intricate design and ornate details, stands tall against the backdrop of Izmir's bustling cityscape. This photograph, taken in 1908, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the Ottoman Empire ruled over this vibrant port city. The image showcases the architectural beauty and rich history of Izmir, making it a must-see destination for history buffs and travelers alike. The clock tower of Saint Photinie remains an essential part of the city's cultural heritage, a reminder of the faith, resilience, and diversity that have shaped Izmir throughout the centuries.
