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
The Mystic City of Mosul: A Topical Page from The Graphic (1923) Mosul, an ancient city located in northern Iraq and a significant cultural and historical hub in Mesopotamia, continues to be a subject of intrigue and political complexity in the 1920s. In this topical page from The Graphic, published in October 1923, the article ponders the question, "Is a settlement with the Turks in sight?" The captivating image showcases the enchanting walls of Mosul, a testament to the city's rich history and its unique blend of Middle Eastern and Turkish influences. The caption acknowledges that Mosul is "one of the knotty problems of the Near East which has yet to be solved," as the city had been under Turkish control since the Ottoman Empire's decline, but the League of Nations had recently granted a mandate to the British to administer the region. The political landscape of the Middle East was in a state of flux, with various powers vying for influence and control. The Turkish nationalists, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, were determined to reclaim Mosul and other territories lost during the war. The British, on the other hand, were keen to maintain their presence in the region to secure their strategic interests. The article in The Graphic reflects the uncertainty and tension surrounding Mosul's future, as the negotiations between the Turks and the British were ongoing. The mystical allure of the city's walls only adds to the intrigue, as the fate of this ancient metropolis hung in the balance. The question of whether a settlement with the Turks was in sight remained unanswered, leaving readers on the edge of their seats as they awaited the outcome of this complex political situation.
