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 wood engraving from Gustave Doré's illustrated Bible, we witness the grandeur of King Solomon welcoming the Queen of Sheba. The scene is taken from I Kings 10:2, a biblical passage that recounts the legendary encounter between these two prominent figures. The image transports us back to ancient times, where opulent architecture and intricate details dominate the frame. King Solomon stands tall and regal, his majestic presence exuding power and wisdom. With arms outstretched in a gesture of warm reception, he greets the Queen with genuine admiration. The Queen of Sheba herself appears equally impressive—a symbol of strength and grace. Her attire reflects her royal status as she approaches Solomon's court with an air of confidence and curiosity. This meeting serves as a testament to their mutual respect for one another's kingdoms. Doré's masterful engraving technique brings life to every line and texture within this historical tableau. Each stroke captures both the splendor of their surroundings and the depth of emotion on their faces. This artwork not only showcases Doré's artistic prowess but also highlights themes found within literature, religion, and Judeo-Christian history. It invites viewers to delve into biblical narratives while appreciating artistry that transcends time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from 1865-66, we are reminded once again why Doré remains one of history's most celebrated illustrators—his ability to breathe life into stories through his engravings continues to captivate audiences
