#5126 - Boxes with Backdrops.
There are many unique variations to displaying items in boxes. They can be vintage shadowboxes, newer handcrafted custom box frames, or even standard items bought from popular craft stores. One must strive for not only protection but also "the look" that you want: color of wood, texture, style of frame. The backdrop or back-board can be wood, silk, colored felt, framer's cardboards, or as we see in this case: even a print of the appropriate subject matter. This display has two original dug British cap badges from the World War I battlefields of the Somme superimposed on a print of the British passing through a devastated European town caught in the midst of war. It is an attractive alernative which shows the collector's creativity & enthusiasm for his relics.
