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
In this iconic photograph, Socks, the beloved White House cat, steals the spotlight as he confidently perches atop the podium in the White House press briefing room. Captured on March 19,1994, by photographer Jennifer Young from Agence France-Presse (AFP), this candid moment showcases Socks' undeniable charm and playful nature. Unbeknownst to many at that time, a groundskeeper who often took care of Socks decided to surprise everyone by bringing him into the press room unannounced. As soon as he was placed on the podium, photographers eagerly snapped away while Socks curiously observed his surroundings. The feline sensation remained there for a few precious minutes before his caretaker gently intervened and whisked him away. Socks became an instant sensation during Bill Clinton's presidency with his endearing presence and photogenic personality. This image perfectly encapsulates how even amidst serious political affairs, a simple act like placing a cat on a podium can bring joy and lightheartedness to any situation. As we look back at this historical snapshot today, it serves as a reminder of how animals have their own unique way of brightening our lives and injecting moments of levity into even the most solemn settings.
