This 1642 engraving by Hendrick Hondius, after Pieter Bruegel the Elder, shows two women with epilepsy being guided toward Molenbeek near Brussels.

Dense (300 - 400 mg), beautiful and natural material with a slight shine. Prints on canvas have a bright and clear color rendition.

Art matte paper.

Very thick paper ~ 1mm. Can be used without frame. Excellent color rendition.
Plywood.
