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 print titled "Before and After Taking: Frontispiece from Cartoons or our War with Spain" by Charles Nelan in 1898 offers a thought-provoking glimpse into America's expansionist policies during the Spanish-American War. The image, part of the Universal Images Group (UIG) collection, showcases Nelan's generally supportive stance towards the United States while expressing concerns about its growing appetite for territorial acquisition. In this artwork, Nelan skillfully captures the essence of America's transformation before and after engaging in conflict with Spain. The 'before' scene depicts a peaceful and idyllic landscape symbolizing pre-war innocence. However, as one gazes upon the 'after' section, an unsettling shift becomes apparent. Here we witness Lady Liberty standing amidst a chaotic battleground strewn with fallen soldiers and shattered remnants of war machinery. Nelan's work serves as a visual critique on American imperialism and its consequences. By juxtaposing these contrasting scenes, he raises questions about the ethical implications of expanding national interests through military intervention. While his support for his country is evident throughout this piece, it also reflects his reservations regarding unchecked expansionism. This historic photograph not only provides us with valuable insights into America's past but also invites us to reflect on similar issues that persist today. It reminds us to critically examine our nation's actions and consider their long-term effects on both domestic affairs and international relations.
