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 mid-19th century engraving captures a pivotal moment in British history, depicting the tragic fate of Thomas Cranmer, the Protestant Archbishop of Canterbury. In this poignant image, we witness the ultimate act of religious persecution during the reign of Queen Mary I. The scene unfolds at Oxford, where Cranmer is condemned to face a horrifying punishment for his Christian beliefs. The engraving vividly portrays Cranmer's burning at the stake as a powerful symbol of intolerance and capital punishment. As flames engulf him, one cannot help but feel a sense of sorrow and outrage at such brutality inflicted upon an influential figure like Cranmer. Cranmer's story represents not only his personal sacrifice but also serves as a testament to the larger struggle between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism during this tumultuous period in British history. His steadfast commitment to his Protestant faith despite facing certain death showcases both courage and conviction. This historical print from Universal Images Group (UIG) serves as a somber reminder of the consequences faced by those who dared to challenge religious orthodoxy in 16th-century England. It invites us to reflect on our own notions of tolerance and freedom of religion while honoring those who have fought for these fundamental rights throughout history.
