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
William Pitt, the Elder, or simply known as Pitt the Great and The Great Commoner, was a prominent British politician of the 18th century, born in London in 1708. Pitt joined the ranks of the Commons Whigs in 1735 and rose to become one of the most influential figures in British politics. He served as the head of the government between 1757 and 1761, during which time he oversaw Britain's involvement in the Seven Years' War, a significant conflict that expanded the British Empire. Pitt's political acumen and leadership during this period earned him the nickname "Prime Pitt" and "The Great Commoner." This engraving, colored for enhanced visual appeal, depicts Pitt in the prime of his life. He is dressed in the fashion of the eighteenth century, with a powdered wig and an air of authority and confidence. Pitt's portrait is a testament to the modern age of European politics, where individuals like him wielded significant power and influence, shaping the course of history. The portrait is a reminder of Pitt's immense contributions to British politics and his role as a statesman during a pivotal period in European history. Pitt's legacy as a prime minister and premier continues to be celebrated in the annals of British and European history.
