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 evocative recruiting poster from the inter-war period, dated 1920, invites potential recruits to "Join the Lancashire Fusiliers" with the tagline "Be a Hero." Printed by Gale and Polden Ltd, the poster showcases the regiment's rich history and tradition, featuring images of Victoria Cross winners from the Lancashire Fusiliers. The Victoria Cross is the highest decoration for valor in the British military, and the presence of these esteemed recipients underscores the heroic legacy of the regiment. The poster's design is striking, with a bold red background and the regimental flag prominently displayed. The flag, adorned with the St. George's Cross and the regimental badge, adds an official and historic touch to the recruitment call. The use of sealing wax and the regimental motto, "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt," which translates to "Where Right and Glory Lead," further emphasizes the honor and duty that comes with serving in the Lancashire Fusiliers. The poster's imagery and messaging reflect the patriotic spirit of the time, as the aftermath of World War I left a deep impact on the British people. The call to join the ranks of the Lancashire Fusiliers, a regiment with a proud history of valor and sacrifice, would have resonated with many young men looking to contribute to their country and make a difference. This poster is an important historical artifact that provides insight into the recruitment efforts and military culture of the early 20th century.
