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 photo print, titled "FIRING OF MacARTHUR" captures a pivotal moment in American history. Created by L. J. Roche in 1951, the cartoon depicts President Harry S. Truman, Secretary of State Dean Acheson, and the Pentagon facing intense scrutiny over Truman's decision to remove General Douglas MacArthur from his role as supreme commander of U. N. forces in Korea. The image metaphorically portrays these influential figures being thrown into a proverbial frying pan due to the controversial decision made during the Korean War. The tension between Truman and MacArthur is palpable as their conflicting strategies for handling North Korea's aggression come to a head. In this thought-provoking artwork, Roche skillfully encapsulates the broader context of the Cold War era, highlighting political acts that shaped international relations at that time. The presence of the Pentagon symbolizes military power and strategic decision-making while emphasizing its involvement in this critical event. Through clever visual storytelling, Roche invites viewers to reflect on democratic processes within America's political landscape during this period. This piece serves as a reminder of how even leaders face consequences for their actions and decisions when navigating complex global conflicts. "FIRING OF MacARTHUR" is not just an artistic creation; it represents an important historical moment frozen in time—a testament to both the power of cartoons as social commentary and our collective need to remember significant events that have shaped our world today.
