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 print captures a haunting reminder of America's dark history of racial segregation. Taken circa 1960, the image showcases a sign outside an American restaurant that boldly points to the "White Rest Rooms". The arrow on the sign serves as a clear indication of the discriminatory practices prevalent during this era. The photograph, captured by Joan Sydlow and archived by Getty Images, transports us back in time to witness firsthand the stark reality faced by African Americans in their daily lives. It symbolizes the deep-rooted racial discrimination that plagued society at that time. In this image, we are confronted with an unsettling reminder of how segregation was not only institutionalized but also publicly displayed. The blatant separation based on race is evident through this simple yet impactful signage. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder of how far our society has come in terms of civil rights and equality. It also reminds us of the importance of continuing to fight against any form of discrimination or prejudice that still exists today. This print from Fine Art Storehouse allows us to bear witness to history and encourages us to strive for a future where such divisions are eradicated completely.
