Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the essence of the iconic Heygate Estate, located on Heygate Street in Elephant & Castle, London. Designed by the renowned architect Tim Tinker in a neo-brutalist style, this architectural marvel was completed back in 1974. Damian Grady's lens skillfully freezes a moment in time, presenting us with an intriguing snapshot taken during September 2012.
The image showcases the estate's imposing presence and its unique brutalist features that have made it an emblematic landmark of London's urban landscape. The geometric shapes and raw concrete facades are beautifully highlighted from above, emphasizing their grandeur against the backdrop of surrounding buildings.
However, as history moves forward relentlessly, so does architecture evolve. This once-thriving community is now undergoing redevelopment—a transformation that will reshape its identity while preserving its historical significance. While we admire this remarkable print today for its aesthetic appeal and cultural value, it also serves as a poignant reminder of how our cities constantly adapt to meet new challenges and demands.
Damian Grady's photographic expertise allows us to appreciate both the beauty and transience captured within this frame—an exquisite blend of artistry and documentation that Historic England cherishes dearly. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image suspended between past and future aspirations, let us reflect on the ever-changing nature of our built environment—always evolving yet forever rooted in history.
