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 vintage hand-colored woodcut print captures the essence of the temperance movement in 19th century America. Titled "Bringing back the rum" it depicts a powerful and thought-provoking scene from Deacon Giles Distillery in Salem, Massachusetts. The illustration showcases liquor barrels labeled with various forms of death, symbolizing the devastating consequences of alcohol consumption. The artist skillfully portrays the social problem that plagued North America during this time - alcoholism. With intricate details and vivid colors, he highlights the dangers associated with excessive drinking, such as cholera, epilepsy, delirium tremens, and even crime. This artwork serves as a visual reminder of how alcohol was perceived as a catalyst for societal issues. As part of the larger temperance movement sweeping across New England and beyond, this cartoon aimed to raise awareness about the negative effects of alcohol on individuals and society as a whole. It reflects an era when people sought to reform their communities by advocating for abstinence from alcoholic beverages. This piece not only offers insight into American history but also showcases our heritage and traditions surrounding social reform. It serves as a testament to our continuous efforts towards creating healthier lifestyles while shedding light on past struggles faced by generations before us.
