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 captures a poignant moment in history during World War I. The cartoon, created by L. Ravenhill and published in Punch magazine on 10th April 1918, depicts the arrival of American reinforcements to bolster the Allied troops before the main US Army could join them. As tensions escalated across Europe, America's entry into the war marked a significant turning point. The artwork itself is a testament to the power of political cartoons as it cleverly portrays this historic event with humor and satire. Ravenhill's skillful engraving showcases his ability to capture both the gravity of war and its absurdities simultaneously. The image highlights American soldiers arriving on European shores, eager to contribute their strength and resolve to an ongoing conflict that had already claimed countless lives. In this snapshot from history, we witness the convergence of two worlds - America's emergence as a global superpower and Europe's desperate need for additional support against formidable adversaries. It serves as a reminder of how nations can unite in times of crisis, setting aside differences for a common cause. Preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), this print not only offers us an artistic glimpse into World War I but also acts as a visual time capsule that allows us to reflect upon our shared past. It serves as an enduring symbol of sacrifice, resilience, and international cooperation amidst one of humanity's darkest chapters – reminding us never to forget those who fought bravely for freedom and peace.
