FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

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
U Boote Heraus! (U Boats Launch!) is a powerful and evocative German propaganda poster from the First World War, created between 1914 and 1918. The image depicts a determined submarine officer, clad in his naval uniform, intently peering through the eyepiece of a periscope. The background is dominated by the chaotic scene of a sinking enemy ship, its hull splitting apart as it hits the water, with white foam and billowing black smoke rising from the impact. The title "U Boote Heraus!" (U Boats Launch!) is emblazoned across the top of the poster, urging viewers to support the German naval war effort and the use of submarines to strike against the enemy. This image is a potent symbol of the German naval strategy during the war, which relied heavily on the use of U-boats to disrupt Allied supply lines and weaken their naval power. The image is a stark reminder of the brutal realities of warfare at sea during this period and the importance of naval power in shaping the outcome of the conflict. The poster's powerful imagery and evocative title continue to resonate today, making it a significant historical artifact and an important reminder of the role of propaganda in shaping public opinion during times of war.
