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 engraving showcases Guido of Arezzo, a remarkable figure from the 11th century. Guido, a Benedictine monk, is widely recognized for his groundbreaking invention that revolutionized music notation. With his creation of staff notation, he replaced the previously used neumatic notation system, bringing forth a new era in musical composition. In addition to this ingenious invention, Guido also devised an innovative tool known as the Guidonian Hand. This hand-shaped aid was designed to assist singers in sight singing by representing different pitches on each finger. His contributions not only transformed how music was written but also enhanced the way it was performed. Guido's profound impact extended beyond the realm of music; his work exemplified his deep Christian faith and commitment as a Benedictine monk. Through his religious devotion and scholarly pursuits, he left an indelible mark on medieval society. This mesmerizing engraving captures Guido's essence - a musician engrossed in composing melodies with precision and passion. It serves as a powerful reminder of how one individual's ingenuity can shape an entire artistic discipline for centuries to come. As we admire this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us reflect upon Guido's legacy and appreciate the beauty that arises when creativity intersects with religious devotion in pursuit of innovation.
