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 captures a powerful Italian poster from 1919, in the aftermath of World War I. The image showcases a gripping propaganda message aimed at rallying support against Germany. The text boldly translates to "Attention! The German snake is caught! We must now tear out its fangs!". This striking lithograph, created by Samuil Samosud, conveys the urgency and determination felt by the Italian people during this tumultuous time. The visual elements of the poster are equally compelling. A hand representing Italy tightly grips an iron cross, symbolizing German aggression and dominance. With fingers wrapped around the snake's throat, it portrays Italy's intent to strangle Germany's power and influence. The snake itself represents Germany with its venomous tongue exposed, ready to strike. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of the intense emotions that permeated Europe after World War I. It reflects both the desire for justice and retribution against those deemed responsible for causing such devastation. Preserved through time on this print by Granger Art on Demand, this Italian poster continues to captivate viewers with its bold imagery and potent message. It stands as a testament to the power of art in shaping public opinion during times of conflict and upheaval.
