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 "Think! Are you content for him to fight for you? Won't you do your bit? We shall win but YOU must help. Join Today," was created by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915. The image features a silhouette of a soldier, standing tall with a rifle and a bayonet, gazing off into the distance. The psychological impact of the poster is profound, as it elicits feelings of guilt and shame in those who may not have yet enlisted. The soldier's stoic stance and determined expression serve as a stark reminder of the sacrifices being made on the battlefield. The First World War, also known as the Great War, was a global conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918. The war brought about unprecedented changes to the world, and the need for manpower was a critical factor in the outcome of the conflict. Posters like this one were used extensively to encourage enlistment and boost morale. The use of the question "Are you content for him to fight for you?" is particularly effective in eliciting an emotional response from the viewer. It challenges one's sense of duty and patriotism, and the idea that "we shall win" creates a sense of collective responsibility. The call to action, "Join Today," is clear and direct, making it an effective tool for recruitment. This historical artifact is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the importance of individual contribution to the greater good. The psychological impact of the poster is a testament to the power of visual communication in shaping public opinion and inspiring action.
