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 is a poignant representation of Marshal Joffre from the French series "Visions de Guerre" by the renowned Swiss 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 served in the conflict as a soldier from 1914 to 1916. The experiences of war served as a powerful source of inspiration for Valloton, pushing him toward abstract art and expressing the emotional turmoil and chaos of the battlefield. In this portrait of Marshal Joffre, Valloton masterfully captures the intensity and determination of the French military leader, who played a crucial role in the early stages of the war. The use of bold lines, stark contrasts, and dynamic composition create a sense of movement and energy, reflecting the dynamic nature of military strategy and the unpredictability of war. The print's historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its depiction of a pivotal figure in military history during a time of great upheaval and change. Felix Valloton's "Visions de Guerre" series, including this powerful portrait of Marshal Joffre, remains a testament to the artist's ability to transform the traumas of war into powerful and evocative works of art.
