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 takes us back in time to the early 1900s, showcasing the remarkable railway connecting Colombo to Kandy near Sensation Rock in Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon). The image captures not only a significant engineering feat but also the breathtaking natural beauty of this South Asian island. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly Sensation Rock, a majestic geological formation that stands tall amidst the rocky landscape. Its rugged texture and imposing presence serve as a reminder of nature's power and artistry. Surrounding it, we see other rocky areas that add depth and character to the overall landscape. Intriguingly, juxtaposed against this raw natural backdrop are man-made elements that highlight human progress. The railway track stretches into the distance, symbolizing connectivity and transportation advancements during that era. A locomotive can be seen chugging along on its journey between these two prominent cities - Colombo and Kandy - bridging communities together. As our gaze moves beyond the train tracks, we notice lamp posts dotting alongside them. These lampposts provide illumination during nighttime travels along this scenic route while power lines stretch overhead, ensuring seamless operations for this vital mode of transportation. This historical photograph was captured by Apothecaries' Company Ltd. , offering us a glimpse into an era where technology met nature harmoniously. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and appreciation for Sri Lanka's awe-inspiring landscapes. Let this evocative image transport you back in time; imagine hearing the rhythmic clatter of wheels on tracks mingling with sounds of nature echoing through valleys as you embark on an unforgettable journey from Colombo to Kandy aboard this iconic railway line near Sensation Rock in Sri Lanka.
