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 striking woodcut print, titled "Visions de Guerre - Lord Kitchener," is a powerful and poignant work from the French series of the same name by the renowned artist Felix Valloton. Created in the late 1890s, Valloton is considered a pioneer of the modern woodcut movement, pushing the boundaries of the medium with his innovative techniques and expressive use of line and form. However, the horrors of World War One deeply affected Valloton, and he was compelled to serve in the conflict as a soldier. His experiences during the war served as a profound source of inspiration, leading him toward abstract art and a more experimental approach to his work. The image of Lord Kitchener, a British statesman and military leader who served as Secretary of State for War from 1914 to 1916, is a poignant representation of the era's military portraits. Valloton's interpretation, however, goes beyond the traditional representation, with the abstracted forms and bold lines conveying the emotional turmoil and chaos of war. The print is a testament to Valloton's mastery of the woodcut medium and his ability to transform a historical figure into a powerful symbol of the human experience during wartime. This image, with its haunting and evocative depiction of Lord Kitchener, continues to resonate with viewers today as a poignant reminder of the past and the enduring impact of war on individuals and society.
