Button Lighter Nautical Plinth Second Trench
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 Second World War trench art lighter showcases the creativity and resourcefulness of soldiers during times of conflict. The lighter, crafted on a wooden plinth, is adorned with intricate designs and embellishments, reflecting the artistic talents of the unnamed soldier who created it. The centerpiece of the design is a Royal Naval coat button, proudly displayed atop the lighter. The nautical theme is a poignant reminder of the soldier's connection to the sea and his service in the Royal Navy. Trench art, also known as battlefield art, emerged during the First and Second World Wars as a means for soldiers to express their creativity and pass the time in the harsh conditions of the trenches. The lighter's wooden plinth, weathered and worn, bears the marks of its history, adding to its character and authenticity. The intricate details of the design, from the delicate engravings to the meticulously placed coat button, speak to the artist's dedication and skill. This historical artifact offers a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during the Second World War, providing a poignant reminder of their experiences and the creativity that emerged from the challenges they faced. The trench art lighter is not only a functional object, but also a testament to the human spirit and the enduring power of art to bring beauty and meaning to even the most difficult circumstances.
