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.

Dirty Business: A WW1 Cartoon Depicting Kaiser Wilhelm's Surprise at the Arrival of American Troops (Cartoon, Dirty Business. The arrival of American troops to join the Allied forces gives Kaiser Wilhelm a shock, 1917) The image before you is a poignant and satirical cartoon from the First World War era, titled "Dirty Business." This thought-provoking illustration, created in 1917, captures the shock and dismay experienced by German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II upon learning of the arrival of American troops to the Western Front. The cartoon depicts a silhouetted Kaiser Wilhelm, standing in a military uniform with a puzzled expression on his face, as he looks upon a group of American soldiers, represented by their iconic stars and stripes, marching towards the battlefield. In the foreground, a bayonetted rifle lies ominously, symbolizing the imminent threat of war. As the United States entered the war in April 1917, the Allied forces received a significant boost in manpower and resources. This development came as a surprise to Kaiser Wilhelm, who had hoped to keep the United States neutral in the conflict. The arrival of American troops marked a turning point in the war, and this cartoon captures the shock and dismay felt by the German leader at this unexpected turn of events. The "Dirty Business" cartoon serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and uncertainties of wartime, as well as the far-reaching consequences of international politics. Its satirical and symbolic nature continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in world history.
