FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

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 sepia-toned photograph from 1942, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of personal expression and symbolism. A proud US Navy Sailor stands before us, his bare chest adorned with an array of intricate tattoos that tell stories beyond words. The sailor's body art is dominated by the striking image of a panther, symbolizing freedom from oppression and strength. The choice of this powerful creature serves as a constant reminder that life can be fragile and fleeting, just like the swift movements of a panther. As he proudly displays his inked skin, it becomes evident that these tattoos hold deep meaning for him. Dressed in his uniform, the sailor exudes both masculinity and vulnerability simultaneously. His undressed state reveals an intimate side often hidden beneath the laborious duties he carries out for his country during World War II. With every stroke on his chest, arms, and even under his Dixie cap, he showcases not only loyalty to the United States but also a sense of individuality within the confines of military service. This evocative photograph captured by Bridgeman Images allows us to glimpse into history through one man's artistic choices permanently etched onto his skin. It reminds us that behind every uniform lies unique stories waiting to be discovered – tales woven together by symbols and emotions imprinted forever on human canvases like this brave sailor's body.
