17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.

The Great Naval Eclipse
EDITORS COMMENTS
election poster from the early 1910s is a powerful and evocative image that encapsulates the political tensions and maritime rivalries of the pre-World War I era. This poster, now held in the archives of Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited, was produced during a time of intense political campaigning and debate, as the electorate prepared to cast their votes in the upcoming election. The poster's central image features a darkened sun, symbolizing the "Great Naval Eclipse," with the ominous words "A vote for the radicals is a vote against the British Navy." The image is surrounded by a sea of ships, both British and foreign, engaged in a fierce battle at sea. The caption "Pre-War Power and Forces" underscores the importance of naval strength and dominance in the lead up to the war. The poster's design is striking, with bold lines and dramatic contrasts that would have captured the attention of voters. The use of the British flag and the image of a Tory elephant, along with the Conservative Party's slogan "For King and Country," reinforces the party's commitment to maintaining the power and prestige of the British Navy. The "Great Naval Eclipse" poster is a testament to the intense political and naval rivalries of the early 20th century. It reflects the belief that the strength of the British Navy was essential to the nation's security and global influence, and that a vote for radical political parties could undermine that strength. The poster's powerful imagery and clear message would have resonated with voters, and helped shape the political discourse of the time. Overall, "The Great Naval Eclipse" election poster is a fascinating glimpse into the political and maritime history of the pre-World War I era, and a reminder of the enduring importance of naval power in shaping international relations and national identity.
