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.

Imago Unleashed: The Majestic Citrus Swallowtail Takes Flight!". In this snapshot, we witness the breathtaking moment when a Citrus Swallowtail butterfly emerges from its cocoon, ready to conquer the world. With wings outstretched and antennae poised, this vibrant creature showcases its dazzling patterns in all their glory. As the morning sun bathes the scene with golden light, we are reminded of nature's incredible metamorphosis and the intricate beauty that lies within. From humble beginnings as a tiny caterpillar to this magnificent Imago stage, it is a testament to life's extraordinary cycles. With every delicate detail captured by Alan Weaving's lens, we can almost feel the anticipation in the air as this South African wonder takes flight for the first time. Its colorful wings seem like an artist's canvas painted with hues that dance harmoniously together. This single butterfly symbolizes not only Africa's rich wildlife but also serves as a reminder of our own personal growth and development. Just like these enchanting creatures undergo transformation, so do we - constantly evolving into better versions of ourselves. So let us celebrate this magical moment frozen in time – where freedom meets fragility and vibrancy meets vulnerability. As ASW-3819 spreads its wings towards new horizons, may it inspire us all to embrace change fearlessly while appreciating life's fleeting yet beautiful moments.
