17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 vibrant and captivating print takes us back to the year 1911, when President Taft's antitrust policies were at the forefront of American politics. The cartoon, digitally colored on a woodcut canvas, brilliantly captures the essence of this historic moment in time. In this illustration, we see Attorney General Wickersham and President Taft depicted as caricatures wielding an axe labeled "Antitrust Legislation". Symbolizing their determination to break up monopolies and promote fair competition within industries. The vintage aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia while reminding us of the rich heritage that shapes our nation. Uncle Sam stands proudly in the background, representing America's unwavering commitment to justice and equality. This political cartoon serves as both a critique and celebration of President Taft's efforts to enforce antitrust laws during his presidency. The artist skillfully portrays William Howard Taft with great attention to detail, capturing his likeness alongside George Woodward Wickersham. Their collaboration in implementing these policies is highlighted through their joint effort symbolized by the shared axe. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from over a century ago, it reminds us how far we have come in shaping our economic landscape. It also prompts reflection on how these early anti-trust actions laid the foundation for future legislation aimed at maintaining healthy competition within our markets.
