Doll Equipped Gracie Missing Outfitted Childrens

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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print from the March of the Women Collection captures a unique piece of history from World War II - Gracie and the National Fire Service. The illustrated Gracie doll card, outfitted in a wartime NFS women's uniform, gives us a glimpse into the role that children played in supporting the war effort. During WWII, children were encouraged to participate in various activities to help boost morale and show support for those serving on the front lines. This Gracie doll card is a perfect example of how even toys were used to educate and engage young minds during this tumultuous time. The attention to detail on this card is remarkable, with Gracie dressed in an authentic NFS uniform complete with badge and utility belt. The only thing missing is her hat, but that doesn't detract from her patriotic spirit. As we look back at this snapshot from the 1940s, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by women who served as firefighters during WWII. Their bravery and dedication should never be forgotten, and this print serves as a tribute to their important contribution to the war effort. Overall, this image encapsulates both the innocence of childhood play and the seriousness of wartime duty - making it a truly special piece of history captured on paper.
