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 print captures the essence of rural communication in a bygone era. Standing tall against the picturesque backdrop of Malvern Hills in Worcestershire, this Victorian Pillar Box stands as a testament to the enduring power of human connection. Its vibrant red hue, contrasting with the lush greenery surrounding it, evokes a sense of nostalgia and charm. Nestled alongside a winding road, this post box served as a lifeline for remote communities nestled within these hills. In an age where technology was yet to dominate our lives, handwritten letters were entrusted to this pillar box - carrying heartfelt messages and news from afar. The photographer's keen eye has beautifully captured not just an architectural marvel but also the spirit of resilience that defines rural life. The stoic presence of this post box amidst nature's grandeur reminds us that even in remote corners, communication knows no bounds. Kenneth M. Walker LRPS skillfully brings history alive through his lens, inviting us on a virtual journey into yesteryears. This image is more than just a photograph; it is an invitation to reflect upon how far we have come while cherishing the simplicity and authenticity that once defined our interactions. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of heritage preserved by Historic England, let us be reminded that behind every letter dropped into its depths lies stories waiting to be shared – stories woven together by love, longing, joy or sorrow – all carried faithfully by those who dedicated their lives to connecting people across vast distances.
