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
This print depicts a classic moment from the World War I era, as depicted in a cartoon by renowned British satirical artist, Captain Bruce Bairnsfather. Titled "You're coming along with me, my lad, as soon as this is over! (Hermann feels he DOES know a better ole)," this cartoon was originally published in The Bystander magazine in 1918. The image showcases Bairnsfather's iconic soldier character, Old Bill, huddled in a shell hole with a German soldier during a relentless bombardment. Old Bill, with a smirk on his face, threatens to take the German captive once the fighting is over, delivering a humorous twist on the theme of the "Better Ole." This cartoon, much like Bairnsfather's other works, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare while also providing a lighthearted take on the camaraderie and banter that existed between soldiers on the Western Front. The cartoon's enduring appeal lies in its ability to humanize the soldiers and their experiences, offering a poignant reminder of the complexities of war and the resilience of the human spirit.
