Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

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
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from ancient times, depicting a Druid carrying mistletoe and a sickle. Hand-colored to perfection, this woodcut illustration transports us back to the depths of Celtic history in Great Britain, Ireland, and Wales. The mistletoe held by the Druid symbolizes sacredness and mysticism, while the sickle represents their connection with nature and agricultural practices. In this vintage artwork, we witness an important ritual being performed deep within the forest. The Druids were revered priests who played significant roles in their tribes' religious ceremonies and cultural traditions. They were known for their profound knowledge of nature's secrets and acted as intermediaries between humans and spirits. As we delve into this historic image, it is evident that these ancient rituals hold great importance in British Isles' prehistoric past. The presence of mistletoe signifies its significance as a sacred plant among the Celts. This artwork not only reflects on religious beliefs but also sheds light on the rich tapestry of European history. Through this remarkable piece of art from North Wind Picture Archives, we are transported to an era where religion intertwined seamlessly with daily life—a time when druids roamed freely across Gaul (France), Ireland (Eire), Great Britain (Wales), leaving behind an indelible mark on our collective memory. Let us cherish this glimpse into our ancestral heritage as we explore Europe's ancient history through visual storytelling at its finest.
