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 portrait of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the English poet and artist, was drawn by his close friend and fellow artist, James Henry Wallis Bell Scott, in the year 1853, when Rossetti was around thirty-five years old. The drawing, which is believed to have been executed in charcoal and white chalk, offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the charismatic and enigmatic personality of one of the most influential figures of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Born in London in 1828, Rossetti was a prodigious talent from an early age, exhibiting a deep interest in art and poetry. He was particularly drawn to the works of Dante Alighieri, whose poetry would later inspire some of his most famous paintings. Rossetti's artistic style was characterized by its rich colors, intricate detail, and intense emotional intensity, which set him apart from the more conventional artistic trends of his time. Bell Scott's drawing captures Rossetti's striking features, with his piercing gaze, thick curly hair, and expressive facial expressions. The artist's sensitive and introspective nature is palpable in the portrait, which seems to convey a sense of deep contemplation and creative intensity. The drawing also offers a glimpse into the close friendship between Rossetti and Bell Scott, who were part of a vibrant artistic community in Victorian England that included other notable figures such as William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Rossetti's legacy as a poet and artist continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world, and this evocative portrait by Bell Scott offers a unique and personal insight into the life and work of this remarkable figure. Dating from the mid-19th century, this drawing is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the artistic and literary milieu of the time, and serves as a testament to the enduring power of creativity and friendship.
