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 striking woodcut print, titled "Halt! Halt! Herr Professor. This is not the Haig Convention," is a poignant and powerful image from the French series "Visions de Guerre" by Swiss artist Felix Valloton. Created in the aftermath of World War I, Valloton, who served in the conflict as a source of inspiration for his abstract art, initiated the modern movement in the use of woodcut. In this print, we witness a mortal combat between a French and German soldier, a stark reminder of the brutal realities of war. The title of the print refers to the Haig Convention, a controversial agreement between British and German forces during World War I, which allowed for the exchange of wounded soldiers between the two sides. Valloton's cartoon, however, depicts a violent confrontation that is far removed from the spirit of the Haig Convention. The use of bold lines and stark contrasts in the print underscores the intensity and brutality of the combat. Valloton's "Visions de Guerre" series is a testament to the artist's deep engagement with the horrors of war and his commitment to using art as a means of expressing the human experience of conflict.
