A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. 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.

Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 42cm x 52.3cm (16.5" x 20.6")

Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")

These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this exclusive snapshot from the lush Atherton Tableland in Queensland, Australia, we catch a rare glimpse of nature's very own spa retreat for birds. Meet our VIP guest, the stylish and savvy Lewin's Honeyeater! Known for its impeccable taste in grooming rituals, this fashionable feathered friend has stumbled upon an extraordinary beauty secret. With utmost grace and finesse, our avian trendsetter can be seen delicately rubbing an ant on its feathers. But don't be fooled by appearances; this isn't just any ordinary ant - it carries a special ingredient called formic acid that acts as a natural repellent against pesky parasites! As the Lewis' Honeyeater indulges in this luxurious treatment, it not only keeps those unwanted freeloaders at bay but also maintains its stunning plumage with unparalleled brilliance. It seems Mother Nature truly knows best when it comes to self-care routines! So next time you find yourself craving some pampering or seeking refuge from bothersome bugs, take inspiration from our feathery fashionista and try out her unique approach to wellness. Who knew that ants could double as both personal assistants and beauty therapists? Remember folks: when life gives you ants. . . embrace them like Lewin's Honeyeater does!
