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 evocative World War 1 recruiting poster, created by renowned artist James Montgomery Flagg in circa 1917, calls out to potential recruits with the bold headline, "Tell That to the Marines." The image features a determined Marine, clad only in his shirt sleeves and wearing a crisp hat, staring down a menacing and caricatured representation of a German soldier, or 'Hun,' who is depicted as a sneering, mustachioed figure, wearing a jacket adorned with Prussian eagles. The poster was produced to galvanize anti-German sentiment and encourage enlistment in the United States Marine Corps during the First World War. The backdrop of the iconic Tremont Row in Boston, Massachusetts, adds a sense of American patriotism and urgency to the scene. This powerful poster, with its striking visuals and provocative messaging, is a poignant reminder of the intense emotions and motivations that drove individuals to join the military during a time of global conflict.
