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
Thomas Hardy: The Last King of Wessex - An Ode to a Literary Titan (1840-1928) In this evocative black-and-white portrait, the legendary English novelist and poet Thomas Hardy, born in 1840, gazes introspectively into the distance, his eyes reflecting the wisdom of a life well-lived. With a balding, wrinkled head, and a stern yet gentle expression, Hardy exudes an air of regal authority, as if he were indeed the 'Last King of Wessex.' Hardy's literary prowess spanned two centuries, with his works continuing to captivate readers around the world. His novels, including 'Far from the Madding Crowd,' 'The Mayor of Casterbridge,' and 'Jude the Obscure,' are renowned for their exploration of the human condition, love, and fate. His poetry, particularly his later collections, such as 'The Dynasts' and 'The Winter's Tale,' showcased his profound understanding of the natural world and the human heart. This oval photograph, taken in 1923, captures Hardy in his later years, a testament to his enduring legacy. The image invites us to reflect on the life and work of this extraordinary man, who, through his writing, continues to reign as the 'King of Wessex' in the realm of English literature. Thomas Hardy, a man of great intellect and sensitivity, whose words have touched the hearts and minds of generations, remains an inspiration to writers and readers alike. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the power of the written word and the indelible mark that a truly great author leaves behind.
