17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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 print titled "The Reaper" is a thought-provoking representation of the political climate during World War I. Created by American cartoonist Boardman Robinson in 1915, this allegorical artwork uses powerful symbolism to convey a pacifist message. In the image, we see Death personified as the Grim Reaper, holding his iconic scythe and soaring through the air with outstretched wings. The Reaper's presence signifies the devastating consequences of war, reminding viewers of the countless lives lost on both sides of the conflict. Robinson's choice to depict Death as an American figure suggests a critique on America's involvement in World War I. As a pacifist himself, he likely intended to highlight the destructive nature of war and advocate for peaceful resolutions instead. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this striking composition while emphasizing the gravity of its subject matter. Through skillful use of line work and shading techniques, Robinson captures both beauty and darkness within this single frame. "The Reaper" serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, art can be used as a powerful tool for social commentary. This timeless piece continues to provoke contemplation about war, politics, mortality, and humanity's capacity for peace.
