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 powerful WWI poster, titled "Enlist Today: Justify the Faith of Your Fathers, and Earn the Gratitude of Your Children," was produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the enduring impact of those actions on future generations. The text of the poster is framed by an elegant border, with the bold lettering of the title and the persuasive argument below drawing the viewer's attention. The use of the words "faith of your fathers" and "gratitude of your children" creates a sense of continuity between the past, present, and future. The poster appeals to both the patriotic spirit of those considering enlistment and their sense of duty to their ancestors and descendants. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with the red, white, and blue color palette reflecting the patriotic sentiment of the time. The use of a serious, determined expression on the soldier's face adds to the sense of urgency and importance of the message. The argument presented in this poster is a common theme in wartime recruitment materials. By enlisting, individuals were not only defending their own country but also upholding the legacy of their forefathers and earning the gratitude of their children. This poster serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during WWI and the enduring impact of those actions on our history and heritage. The text on this poster is a powerful call to action, urging men to join the army and serve their empire. The use of persuasive language and emotive imagery reflects the urgency and importance of the recruitment effort during wartime. This poster is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the motivations and values of those who lived through the First World War and the legacy it left behind.
