I ve got a tiger on my tail: Clasped in the paws of a Bengal tiger
I ve got a tiger on my tail: Clasped in the paws of a Bengal tiger, John Dawley goes through the daily routine of picking up a wage. Not for John that nine-to-five drudgery chained to an office desk - instead its a daily dice with danger that could always go horrifyingly wrong. Each day, before a disbelieving audience, the fearless 27-year-old takes on " Kipplin, " the three-year-old tiger, in a show staged at the Enchanted Village in Orange County, California. After terrifying tussles like these, John escapes by jumping into a swimming pool. Always there is the fear that one day " Kipplin, " might play it for real - hes already come too close for comfort. So next time you go to work, spare a thought for John...earning his stripes the hard way. Pouncing: Fearless John ducks as " Kipplin, " the three-old tiger, unleashes himself at his victim in another round of combat. July 1977 P000733

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.
