Behind Chocolate Fondness Trumpeter Unattributed Childrens Shows
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 charming vintage print from the March of the Women Collection captures a scene straight out of a wartime children's storybook. The illustration, dating back to the 1940s during World War II, features The Chocolate Soldiers and Chumpie The Trumpeter.
In this whimsical image, we see the stern General of the chocolate soldiers standing tall and disapprovingly as he watches over his daughter who stands behind him. Chumpie The Trumpeter, with his mischievous grin and trumpet in hand, seems to be causing quite a stir with his fondness for the General's daughter.
The intricate details in this illustration transport us back in time to an era filled with innocence and imagination despite being amidst war. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, there is still room for lighthearted moments and childhood adventures.
This unattributed artwork not only showcases the creativity and talent of illustrators from that period but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. It is a delightful snapshot frozen in time that brings joy and wonder to all who gaze upon it.
