1933 Japans Pulls Puppet Strings
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1933 captures a pivotal moment in history between France and Japan. Titled "FRANCE & JAPAN / 1933 (France pulls Japan's strings)," the image symbolizes the complex power dynamics at play during this time. In the cartoonish depiction, France is shown as a puppeteer, pulling the strings of Japan, suggesting that France held significant influence over Japanese affairs.
The historical significance of this image cannot be understated, as it reflects the geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century. With tensions rising globally and alliances shifting rapidly, this print serves as a visual representation of international relations in flux.
The use of cartoons in political commentary was common during this era, allowing for complex ideas to be communicated in a more accessible manner. Through clever imagery and symbolism, artists were able to convey nuanced messages about world events and power struggles.
As we reflect on this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the intricate web of alliances and rivalries that shaped global politics during this period. The relationship between France and Japan was just one piece of a much larger puzzle that continues to fascinate historians and scholars today.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this important piece of history through their collection, allowing us to glimpse into the past and gain a deeper understanding of international events from decades ago.
