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 evocative illustration, titled 'Britain's Forces with Allies' and believed to be created around 1940, is a powerful testament to the unity and diversity of the Allied forces during World War II. The image, a combination of various works by the renowned artist John Hassall, portrays an array of figures representing Britain's military might and its international allies. At the forefront, we see members of the Royal Navy and British Army, their determined expressions and resolute postures embodying the unwavering spirit of the British people. Among them, soldiers and officers from India, New Zealand, France, Scotland, and South Africa proudly display their distinctive uniforms and insignia, symbolizing the multinational coalition that came together to defend freedom and democracy. The sky above is filled with the sights and sounds of war: barrage balloons tethered to the ground, their taut cables forming a protective barrier against enemy aircraft, while fighter planes roar overhead, ready to engage in aerial combat. The Union Jack, unfurled boldly behind the iconic figure of John Bull, stands as a beacon of hope and resilience, reminding us of the unyielding spirit that sustained the Allies throughout the long and arduous conflict. This illustration, which once graced the pages of a children's book about World War II, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served in the 2nd World War and the unbreakable bonds forged between the Allied nations during this pivotal moment in history.
