Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the summer of 1957 at the London Zoo, where a remarkable artist is hard at work. Meet Congo, a celebrity chimpanzee whose artistic talents have captured the attention of art enthusiasts worldwide. With paintbrushes held firmly in both hands and an unexpected twist - his foot - Congo immerses himself in creating his latest masterpiece. The image beautifully captures Congo's intense focus as he meticulously applies strokes of paint onto canvas. His expressive eyes reveal a profound concentration that transcends species boundaries, reminding us of the innate creativity found within all living beings. As spectators, we cannot help but marvel at his ability to navigate between human-like precision and primal instinct. John Pratt's masterful composition highlights not only Congo's artistic prowess but also emphasizes the undeniable connection between humans and animals. Through this lens, we witness how art becomes a universal language capable of bridging gaps and fostering understanding across different realms of existence. This extraordinary print serves as a timeless reminder that talent knows no bounds; it can be discovered even in the unlikeliest places. It invites us to reflect on our own creative potential while celebrating the beauty inherent in every creature roaming our wild world.
