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 spirit of Yenan, a historic city in the Shaanxi province of China, which served as a crucial stronghold for the Chinese Communist Party during the tumultuous years of 1934-1935. Nestled in the rugged terrain of the Yanan Basin, Yenan became the temporary capital and red heart of the Communist forces, who were on the run from the Nationalist Party's relentless pursuit. The Long March, a grueling and arduous journey undertaken by the Red Army and their allies, came to an end in Yenan. The city's strategic location and mountainous terrain provided the perfect defense against the Nationalist forces, allowing the Communists to regroup, reorganize, and rebuild their ranks. It was during this period that Mao Zedong, the founder of the People's Republic of China, consolidated his power and formulated the ideology that would shape the course of Chinese history. The photograph shows a bustling street in Yenan, with people going about their daily lives amidst the backdrop of the mountains. The simple yet resilient spirit of the people is palpable, as they carry on despite the challenges of war and poverty. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Chinese people during this pivotal moment in their history. This photograph, taken during the 1930s, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Chinese Communist Party and the resilience of the people of Yenan. It is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of history and the enduring legacy of Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party.
