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 Parliamentary Recruiting Committee poster, titled "Rights of Citizenship," was created in 1916 to encourage British men to enlist in the army. The black and white design features bold, persuasive text that highlights the rights and duties of citizens during wartime. The poster emphasizes the idea that citizenship comes with responsibilities, particularly the duty to defend one's country in times of crisis. The text reads, "Your Rights, Your Duty," with the following list of rights outlined below: "The right to live in a free country. The right to worship God in your own way. The right to earn a living by the sweat of your brow. The right to vote for those who govern you. The right to be protected by the law. The right to move freely from place to place." The poster then continues, "But with these rights go duties. The duty to obey the law. The duty to pay your taxes. The duty to serve in the army if called upon." The use of the word "duty" is repeated throughout the poster, emphasizing the idea that citizenship is not just about individual freedoms, but also about contributing to the greater good of the community and the nation. The poster's stark design and bold lettering effectively convey the sense of urgency and importance of the message, making it a compelling example of wartime propaganda. This historic poster is a reminder of the sacrifices and commitments required during times of war, and the interconnected nature of individual rights and collective responsibility. It is a powerful reminder of the patriotic spirit that motivated many men to enlist and serve during WWI.
