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.

I Pass All My Hours in a Shady Old Grove
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Regal Moment of Reflection by King Charles II This evocative image captures the essence of King Charles II, the Merry Monarch, in a moment of quiet contemplation as he composes his poem, "I Pass All My Hours in a Shady Old Grove." Dating back to the seventeenth century, this royal figure is depicted under the protective canopy of a grand oak tree, a symbol of strength and endurance. The year is 1934, yet the scene transports us back to a time when the Carolean era was at its zenith. Charles II, known for his love of the arts and his merry disposition, is often remembered for his poetic talents. This image captures the King in his element, surrounded by nature and inspired by its beauty. The poem's title, "I Pass All My Hours in a Shady Old Grove," reflects the monarch's appreciation for the simple pleasures in life. The setting of this image is reminiscent of the legendary time when King Charles II hid in an oak tree to escape the Roundhead troops after the Battle of Worcester in 1651. This historical event added to the mythology surrounding the Merry Monarch, making this image all the more captivating. The intricately stylized illustration showcases the grandeur and elegance of the royal era, with King Charles II depicted in regal attire, pen in hand, and a quill poised above the parchment. The oak tree, a symbol of the monarchy's enduring strength, stands tall and proud in the background, its branches reaching out to embrace the King and his creation. In this moment, King Charles II is not just a monarch, but a poet, a lover of nature, and a man who found solace and inspiration in the simple pleasures of life. This image is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the Carolean era, and a reminder of the enduring power of poetry and the natural world to inspire and captivate.
