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
In the heart of the Western Front during the First World War, two British soldiers, weary from the relentless trench warfare, take a brief moment to hone their shooting skills. In this humorous cartoon by renowned British war artist and satirist, Bruce Bairnsfather, titled "Watch me make a fire-bucket of is elmet," the soldiers are seen practicing their aim with their rifles, their expressions a mix of concentration and light-hearted banter. The trench surroundings are a stark reminder of the harsh realities of the battlefield, with the makeshift fire bucket and the worn-out trench parapets serving as a poignant backdrop. The soldiers' casual demeanor and the cartoonish exaggeration of their weapons add a touch of levity to the otherwise grim scenario. This image, a testament to the resilience and camaraderie of soldiers in the face of adversity, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and experiences of the British soldiers during the Great War." "The cartoon, published in Bairnsfather's popular series "Fragments from France," is a powerful reminder of the human side of war, showcasing the soldiers' ability to find moments of levity and connection even in the most challenging of circumstances. With its intricate details and rich historical significance, this print is a must-have for any collection focused on World War I, military history, or the art of Bruce Bairnsfather."
