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
In this intriguing 19th-century cartoon print titled "Keeping It Down, Otto von Bismarck" we witness the Germany Chancellor's relentless efforts to suppress the rising tide of socialism. Depicted in full length, Otto von Bismarck stands tall and imposing, brandishing a spooky sword as he attempts to force the symbolic Jack of Socialism back into its box. Created by Edward Linley Sambourne for London's renowned publication "Punch" this thought-provoking artwork captures a pivotal moment in history. The caption accompanying the image reminds us that every act of repression only fuels humanity's desire for more freedom. As Bismarck wields his dagger against socialism, it becomes clear that such actions may inadvertently strengthen the very movement he seeks to quell. The vertical composition emphasizes both Bismarck's dominance and the gravity of his task. A flag bearing Western script flutters ominously in the background, representing Prussia and alluding to larger political forces at play during this era. Sambourne masterfully conveys complex ideas through his artistry, employing symbolism and satire to comment on social and political issues. This particular piece serves as a powerful reminder that attempts to stifle dissent can often have unintended consequences. This historical gem from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports viewers back in time while offering valuable insights into an important chapter in German history.
