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 powerful propaganda poster from World War I serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of loose lips in times of conflict. The image, created in 1918 by an unknown artist, features the head of Kaiser Wilhelm II transformed into that of a sinister spider, with the ominous message: "Don't talk, the web is spun for you with invisible threads, keep out of it, help to destroy it--spies are listening."
The use of symbolism in this piece is striking - equating German spies to spiders weaving a dangerous web around unsuspecting individuals. The viewer is urged to remain silent and vigilant against enemy infiltration.
In a time when paranoia and fear ran high, propaganda such as this played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and rallying support for the war effort. It served as a constant reminder that every word spoken could potentially aid the enemy.
As we look back on this historical artifact today, we are reminded not only of the power of visual communication but also of the enduring impact that wartime propaganda can have on society. Let us learn from history and remember that even in times of uncertainty, caution and discretion must prevail.
