Correspondence Ephemera Holly Patriotic Patriotism Ribbon
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 charming WWII-era Christmas card, titled "Cheero," features an heartwarming scene of two patriotic dogs exchanging holiday greetings. Dressed in red and white striped collars adorned with blue stars and yellow ribbons, these loyal canine companions don helmets and caps, emulating the brave soldiers of the time. The card's design is simple yet evocative, with holly leaves and red berries framing the dogs and adding a touch of festivity. The year is estimated to be circa 1942, a time when the world was deeply engrossed in the Second World War. The card's cheerful and optimistic message stands in stark contrast to the somber reality of the war, offering a moment of respite and hope amidst the turmoil. The use of patriotic colors and symbols, such as the stars and stripes, further emphasizes the spirit of unity and perseverance that defined the era. The "Cheero" card is a poignant reminder of the role animals played during wartime, providing companionship, comfort, and even serving as mascots for military units. This ephemeral piece of correspondence design from the 1940s offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple act of sending a Christmas card could bring joy and connection to those far away from home. The photograph, with its crisp lines and clear details, preserves the authenticity and historical significance of this unique piece of WWII history.
