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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Rievaulx Abbey: A Gothic Masterpiece in North Yorkshire 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty of Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire, England. Established in 1132, this Cistercian monastery was once a thriving religious community and a symbol of medieval piety. The ruins that stand today tell a different story, but they continue to captivate visitors with their history, architecture, and serene atmosphere. 3. Composition: Taken from the west, the image showcases the north and south transepts, with the nave in the center and the Galilee Porch in the foreground. The transepts, with their elegant arches and intricate stonework, frame the nave, which is bathed in soft light. The Galilee Porch, with its distinctive barrel vault, adds a sense of grandeur to the scene. 4. History: Rievaulx Abbey was founded by twelve monks led by St. Walter de Mildenhall. The abbey flourished for over 300 years, but it was dissolved in 1538 during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. The ruins were left to the mercy of the elements, but they have been preserved and protected, allowing us to appreciate their architectural and historical significance. 5. Architecture: The abbey is a prime example of Gothic architecture, characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large windows that let in natural light. The stonework, with its intricate details and delicate carvings, speaks to the skill and dedication of the craftsmen who built the abbey. 6. Reflection: Rievaulx Abbey stands as a testament to the past, a reminder of the religious fervor and architectural prowess of medieval Europe. The ruins may be silent, but they continue to inspire awe and wonder, inviting us to contemplate the passage of time and the enduring power of human creativity.
