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.

The painting depicts the spectacular sight of a burning Zeppelin, captured through a telescope from the Southfields area of London. This event relates to the Zeppelin raid that occurred on the night of September 2nd/3rd, 1916, during which the German airship Schutte-Lanz 11, commanded by Wilhelm Schramm, was shot down.
