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 chromolithograph, titled "CARTOON: BOXER REBELLION. A Disturbing Possibility in the East" offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the geopolitical tensions of early 20th century Asia. Created by Udo Keppler in 1901, this cartoon depicts Uncle Sam, representing the United States, seated at a table with members of the eight-nation alliance. The focal point of the image is a large tray labeled "Chinese Indemnity" placed on the table. Suspended above it by a thin string is a sword labeled "Awakening of China". This clever symbolism suggests that if China were to rise and seek revenge for its perceived injustices, it could pose a significant threat to Western powers. The artist skillfully personifies various nations through their respective leaders present at the table – Emperor Meiji of Japan, King Edward VII of England, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, Czar Nicholas II of Russia, and others. Each leader's uniform represents their nation's involvement in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion in China during that time. This artwork captures not only fear but also anticipation surrounding China's potential awakening as an influential global power. It reflects concerns about maintaining control over Chinese territories while highlighting anxieties about retaliation from within Asia against foreign influences. As we delve into this historical piece captured by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection archives, we are reminded how art can serve as both documentation and commentary on complex international relations
