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
Victor Balaguer (1824-1901): A Prominent Figure in Spanish Politics and Literature This bust of Victor Balaguer, created by the renowned Catalan sculptor Manuel Fuxa in 1910, stands proudly in Ciutadella Park, Barcelona, Spain. Balaguer, born in 1824, was a Spanish politician and writer, who played a significant role in the political landscape of Spain during the 19th century. Balaguer's facial features, as depicted in this sculpture, reveal a man of great intellect and wisdom. His thick beard and moustache, which were common among men of the time, frame his distinguished face. Balaguer's age is evident in the lines on his forehead and around his eyes, which add to the authenticity of the sculpture. Balaguer was a liberal politician who advocated for the interests of Catalonia and the Catalan language during the Renaixenca movement. He was also a Freemason, and the column and chapiter in the background of the bust are reminiscent of the symbols of Freemasonry. Balaguer's political career was marked by his commitment to patriotism and his dedication to the capital city of Spain. He was a prolific writer, and his literary works reflected the romanticism of the era. This bust, therefore, is not only a testament to Balaguer's political legacy but also to his contributions to Spanish literature. The Ionic order of the column and the intricate details of the bust are a nod to the classical art influence of the time. The bust, which is a contemporary work of art from the early 20th century, is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Spain.
