23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

Join the Navy - The Service for Fighting Men
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative poster from 1917, created to encourage enlistment in the United States Navy during World War I. The image features a sailor, dressed in full uniform and wearing a confident expression, astride a torpedo as if it were a horse. The torpedo is shown with a glowing red tip, ready to strike at the enemy. The sailor's strong posture and determined gaze convey a sense of courage, strength, and determination, while the caption "Join the Navy: The Service for Fighting Men" reinforces the message that the Navy is a place for those who are ready to fight and make a difference. The use of the torpedo as a symbol of the Navy's power and capabilities is significant, as it was a relatively new and advanced weapon at the time. The poster's bold design and striking colors capture the attention and inspire a sense of patriotism and duty. The poster's creation in 1917, during a time when the United States was actively involved in World War I, underscores the importance of the Navy in defending the country and its interests. This poster is a testament to the powerful role that visual imagery can play in shaping public opinion and inspiring action. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the men and women who have served in the Navy, and the crucial role that the Navy continues to play in protecting our nation and its values. Whether displayed in a museum, a classroom, or a private collection, this poster remains a significant piece of American military history.
