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 print captures the essence of a World War I poster issued in 1917 by the American Committee for Relief in the Near East. Titled "Lest They Perish" this lithograph aimed to raise $30,000,000 to aid Armenia, Greece, Syria, and Persia during a time of great turmoil. The image depicts a woman and child amidst ruins, symbolizing the devastation caused by war. The woman's expression reflects both resilience and despair as she clutches her child tightly. Their presence amidst the destruction serves as a poignant reminder of the innocent lives affected by conflict. The artist skillfully portrays their vulnerability against a backdrop of crumbling buildings and debris. This artwork not only showcases exceptional artistic talent but also highlights humanity's capacity for compassion and empathy. It calls upon viewers to recognize the urgent need for relief efforts in war-torn regions and emphasizes our shared responsibility to help those less fortunate. As we gaze upon this historic photograph print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded that even though it was created over a century ago, its message remains relevant today. It serves as an enduring testament to the power of art in raising awareness about global issues and inspiring action towards positive change.
