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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history at the iconic Brandenburg Gate and Berlin Wall. The image showcases a sign that reads "Achtung" meaning "Attention!" in German, serving as a stark reminder of the division between East and West Berlin during the Cold War era. The photograph, taken by Central Press/Getty Images, transports us back to a time when crossing this barrier meant leaving behind one political ideology for another. It symbolizes not only physical separation but also ideological differences that defined an entire generation. The architectural beauty of the Brandenburg Gate stands tall in contrast to the surrounding wall, emphasizing its role as an international landmark and famous place within Europe. The gate's grandeur is enhanced by the presence of flags fluttering above it, representing unity or perhaps highlighting divisions depending on which side they belong to. In this archival piece of photography from 1960-1969, there are no people present; however, their absence speaks volumes about the impact of these barriers on human lives. This evocative image invites us to reflect upon historical events while appreciating its artistic value. Central Press has masterfully captured both the physical structure and emotional weight associated with this historic site through their lens. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this print serves as a powerful reminder of past struggles and triumphs while inspiring conversations about freedom, unity, and resilience.
