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 vibrant and striking British military poster, published by HM Stationery Office in 1925, invites "Smart Men Wanted" to enlist or re-enlist in the army, specifically the Scots Guards, with attractive rates of pay. The colorful chromolithograph design, created by A.W. Baylis, features five figures in various uniforms, each exuding confidence and pride. The Scots Guardsman in the foreground wears the iconic bearskin hat and bears the Queen's colors. The other figures, dressed in the uniforms of the Royal Fusiliers, Royal Tank Corps, Royal Engineers, and Royal Artillery, showcase the diversity and versatility of the British military. The poster includes Army Form B2530 and the date of October 1925, indicating the specific recruitment campaign. This historical artifact provides a fascinating glimpse into the inter-war period and the British military's efforts to attract new recruits.
