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, part of the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee's Group System series, was produced in a Welsh language version in 1916. The poster, with its bold red text and lettering, was used to encourage enlistment in the British Army during the First World War. The Group System allowed men to join the military with their friends or colleagues, creating a sense of camaraderie and unity. The Welsh version of the poster reads, "Enlistment in Groups will reopen on Monday, January 10th, 1916, and will proceed until further notice." The use of the Welsh language was an effective way to reach and persuade potential recruits in Wales, demonstrating the committee's commitment to recruiting from all parts of the United Kingdom. The poster's historical significance lies in its role as a tool of persuasion during a time of war, when the need for manpower was critical. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals during the conflict and the importance of unity and community in times of hardship.
