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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Gosh Mister! Are you evacuating the whole town? It's hard to believe that between 1939 and the end of 1941, an estimated 200,000 people were evacuated from towns to the countryside during the tumultuous era of World War II. This charming comic postcard, circa 1940, captures the sweet innocence of the time through its light-hearted and amusing depiction of the evacuation process. The caricatured image of a harassed man in a bowler hat, pushing a pram filled to the brim with children's belongings, adds a touch of fun and humor to the historical event. The children, with their rosy cheeks and wide-eyed expressions, seem oblivious to the chaos around them, embodying the innocence of childhood even in the midst of wartime. Published by an unknown artist, this postcard is a delightful reminder of the resilience and determination of the British people during the 2nd World War.
