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
In this chromolithograph print, we witness the legendary Baron Munchausen showcasing his extraordinary hunting skills with a single shot. The scene is reminiscent of his remarkable adventures chronicled in RE Raspe's renowned literary work, "The Travels and Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen" first published in 1785. With an air of confidence and prowess, Munchausen stands tall as he proudly displays the fruits of his labor - a multitude of wildfowl that have fallen victim to his unmatched marksmanship. Each bird represents yet another testament to the baron's exceptional abilities as a hunter. However, behind this stunning portrayal lies more than just a tale of hunting triumphs. The character of Munchausen has long been associated with fiction and exaggeration, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. His pathological tendency for embellishment adds an intriguing layer to this image, inviting us to question whether it truly captures an authentic moment or merely serves as another chapter in his elaborate web of deceit. This particular print originates from a French edition dating back to around 1850, further emphasizing the enduring popularity and international reach that Munchausen's stories enjoyed throughout history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a world where literature intertwines with psychology, challenging our perceptions while simultaneously enchanting us with tales beyond belief.
