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).

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back in time to the 26th of October, 1907. The image captures an engine driver on the Great Central Railway, proudly standing beside his locomotive. With a worn oil can firmly grasped in his hand, he exudes a sense of expertise and dedication to his craft. The railway tracks stretch into the distance behind him, symbolizing the vast network that connects communities and fuels progress. This snapshot freezes a moment in history when steam trains were at their peak, dominating transportation and shaping societies. The man's face is weathered by years of hard work and long hours spent maneuvering these powerful machines. His eyes reflect both pride for his role as an engine driver and perhaps a hint of weariness from countless journeys made across the country. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human element behind technological advancements. It reminds us that progress is not solely driven by machinery but also by individuals who dedicate their lives to ensuring its smooth operation. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of how crucial each cog in the wheel was during this era - from engineers to conductors like our subject here. Their unwavering commitment ensured that passengers could embark on adventures or reunite with loved ones safely and efficiently. Through this photograph's monochromatic lens, we catch a glimpse into an era defined by innovation, determination, and above all else - human connection through rail transport.
