Auxiliary Doll Equipped Gracie Outfitted Waaf 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 print from the March of the Women Collection showcases a unique piece of WW2 history - Gracie The Waaf. This children's illustrated Gracie doll card, outfitted in a wartime Women's Auxiliary Air Force uniform, provides a glimpse into life during the 1940s. The attention to detail in this depiction of Gracie is remarkable, with her uniform accurately representing the attire worn by women serving in the WAAF during World War II. From her smart cap to her tailored jacket and skirt, every aspect of Gracie's outfit reflects the dedication and sacrifice of women who served their country during one of its most challenging times. As we look at this image, we are reminded of the important role that women played in supporting the war effort on both the home front and overseas. Through their service in organizations like the WAAF, they contributed significantly to victory in WWII. This print serves as a poignant reminder of an era marked by resilience, courage, and unity. It honors not only those who served but also future generations who continue to learn about and appreciate their sacrifices. Gracie The Waaf stands as a symbol of strength and determination during a time when every contribution mattered towards securing freedom for all.
