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
Theres a Long, Long Trail A-Winding: A Heartwarming Illustration of a Young Girl's Contribution to the Troops during World War I This enchanting illustration by Mabel Lucie Attwell, titled "Theres a Long, Long Trail," depicts a cherubic little girl intently focused on her knitting, her chubby fingers deftly weaving wool into a comforting piece for the soldiers at the front. The title is a clever play on words, referencing both the length of the knitting being created and the popular World War I song of the same name. Composed by Alonzo "Zo" Elliott and lyricist Stoddard King, both seniors at Yale University, the song "Theres a Long, Long Trail A-Winding" was first published in 1914. However, its popularity surged during the First World War, as the lyrics resonated with the public's longing for a return to peace and normalcy. The image of the young girl knitting for the troops is a poignant reminder of the many ways in which communities came together during times of conflict to provide support and comfort. The woolly stool and the warm, inviting home setting contrast starkly with the harsh realities of the battlefield, offering a glimmer of hope and solace. Mabel Lucie Attwell's illustration is a beautiful testament to the enduring power of human connection and the simple yet profound impact that even the smallest acts of kindness can have. This charming piece of history invites us to reflect on the resilience and compassion that have carried us through challenging times, and serves as a reminder of the importance of coming together to support one another.
