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 image, titled "In a British Advanced Observation Post," was published in 1916 in Tatler and Sphere magazines. The painting is the work of Fortunino Matania, an Italian-born British artist and one of the most accomplished realistic illustrators and artists of his time. Matania's wartime work was immensely popular and appeared in nearly every major news magazine, both Allied and neutral, as well as Central Powers publications. With tens of millions of readers exposed to his weekly illustrations, Matania played an important role in defining the mental image of Great War battlefield scenes and soldiers for the public. In this particular scene, we see British soldiers in an advanced observation post, carefully observing and correcting artillery fire on the Western Front. The soldiers are intently focused on their tasks, using binoculars to spot enemy targets and communicating with artillery units to adjust their fire. The post is situated in a desolate, muddy landscape, with the ominous clouds of smoke from the battlefield in the distance. The use of naturalistic colors and intricate detail captures the harsh realities of trench warfare and the dedication of the soldiers to their duty. Matania's ability to convey the raw emotion and intensity of the war experience made his work a powerful tool for shaping public perception during a time when information about the front lines was scarce. His images brought the realities of the war into people's homes and helped to foster a sense of connection and understanding between the soldiers and the civilians on the home front.
