23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
The captivating print titled "WORLD WAR I: U. S. NAVY. Gee!! I Wish I Were a Man, I'd Join the Navy" depicts an iconic American World War I recruiting poster created in 1917 by Howard Chandler Christy. This powerful image showcases a young woman dressed in a sailor's uniform, complete with the signature hat adorned with the letters "U. S. N". The text boldly proclaims her desire to be part of something greater than herself: "Gee!! I Wish I Were a Man, I'd Join the Navy". This poster is not only visually striking but also carries significant historical and cultural significance. It represents the patriotic fervor that swept across America during World War I, as women were encouraged to support their country's war efforts on various fronts. By featuring an empowered female figure expressing her longing to serve in traditionally male-dominated roles like the navy, this artwork challenges gender norms and highlights women's growing role in society. Christy's creation served as propaganda aimed at inspiring both men and women to enlist in the U. S. Navy and contribute to their nation's cause. Its enduring impact lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its representation of a pivotal moment when societal expectations were being reshaped by global conflict. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate and reflect upon this historic piece of art that continues to resonate today for its message of empowerment, patriotism, and breaking down barriers based on gender stereotypes.
