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 image by William McLaren, titled "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," transports us back to the enchanting world of medieval literature. The Green Knight, a mysterious giant clad in emerald armor, rides his horse boldly over the drawbridge of Camelot Castle on New Year's Day. His arrival sets in motion a special challenge that will test the courage and wit of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The Green Knight's appearance is both odd and awe-inspiring. His sphere-like helmet, the snow-covered castle walls, and the icy moat add to the strange and fantastical atmosphere. The horse and rider cross the bridge as the sun sets, casting a warm glow over the scene. The brazier at the castle entrance warms the knights gathered there, a stark contrast to the cold winter night. The narrative of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a 14th-century English poem, is steeped in history and myth. The Green Knight's challenge, which Sir Gawain bravely accepts, sets the stage for a thrilling and unforgettable tale. This image, captured in 1961, continues to captivate audiences with its intriguing blend of history, fantasy, and the unknown. The Middle Ages come alive in this evocative print, as the horse's hooves clatter on the drawbridge, the knights huddle around the fire, and the Green Knight's enigmatic presence looms large. This is a moment frozen in time, a snapshot of a strange and wondrous world that continues to enthrall us, even after centuries have passed.
