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.

Daylight Raid from my Studio Window, 7 July 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by the renowned Irish artist, Sir John Lavery. This masterpiece, created in 1917, offers a unique insight into the artist's world, merging the personal and the political. The painting depicts Lady Lavery, the artist's wife, standing at her studio window during a daylight air raid in London. The ominous clouds of war are juxtaposed with the tranquil scene inside the studio, creating a striking contrast. Upon closer inspection, the lower part of the window reveals an intriguing detail. Lady Lavery is seen faking a religious effigy, an act that adds an unexpected layer of complexity to the painting. The dark pigment used in the painting has somewhat obscured this detail, but the impasto of the under-painting is definitively visible. This discovery, mentioned in a 1929 catalog card, adds an intriguing element to the painting, hinting at the artist's playful and inventive nature. The title "Daylight Raid from my Studio Window" suggests the disruption of daily life caused by the war, while the inclusion of Lady Lavery's deception adds a note of levity and resilience. The painting is a testament to the power of art to capture the human experience, even in the midst of chaos and adversity. Sir John Lavery's "Daylight Raid from my Studio Window, 7 July 1917" is a captivating work of art that invites viewers to explore its many layers and hidden details. The painting's historical significance, combined with its personal and artistic depth, makes it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the human spirit.
