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
This evocative WW2 poster from the 1940s, titled "Use Less Water! Less Water -- More Shells," serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and resourcefulness during wartime. The image depicts a woman in a simple apron, standing at a kitchen sink with a tap flowing freely. Above her head, an ominous shadow cast by a gas mask ominously looms, as if to underscore the stakes of water conservation during this critical period. The poster's stark message, "Less Water -- More Shells," highlights the importance of conserving water during the war effort. With resources stretched thin and the demands of manufacturing weapons and ammunition at an all-time high, every drop counted. The government's call to action was a reminder that each individual's responsible use of resources could contribute to the larger war effort. The poster's design is both striking and effective, using simple yet powerful imagery to convey its message. The use of the woman in the kitchen setting underscores the everyday nature of the conservation effort, emphasizing that every household could make a difference. The poster's historical significance lies not only in its role in encouraging water conservation during the war but also as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people during a time of great adversity. As we reflect on the past, this WW2 poster serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation and the role that each of us can play in preserving valuable resources, especially during times of crisis. The poster's message remains relevant today, as we continue to grapple with the challenges of resource management and the need to be mindful of our impact on the environment.
