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 "World War I: American eagle swooping to guard the Atlantic" captures a powerful moment in history. The image, originally a cartoon by L. Ravenhill from "Punch" magazine in London on 18 April 1917, symbolizes America's promise to assist Britain in patrolling the Atlantic during World War I. In this engraving, an imposing American eagle is depicted soaring through the sky with its wings spread wide. With a determined expression and sharp talons ready for action, it represents the United States' commitment to protect shipping lanes from German naval attacks. The significance of this image lies in America's decision to join forces with Britain against Germany during one of the most devastating conflicts of all time. As tensions escalated across Europe and beyond, this alliance marked a turning point for both nations involved. The artist skillfully portrays the strength and resolve of the American people as they take on their new role as guardians of the Atlantic. This visual representation serves as a reminder that unity and cooperation are essential when facing common threats. Today, this print stands as a testament to bravery and international collaboration during times of war. It serves as an important historical artifact that reminds us of our shared past and highlights how nations can come together for a greater cause.
