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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the harsh reality of slum housing in China during a time when poverty and destitution plagued its people. In this poignant image, we witness beggars scraping an existence amidst squalid living conditions. The photographer, John Thomson, known for his ability to capture the raw essence of humanity, skillfully portrays the resilience and struggle of these individuals. The composition is strikingly framed with a square format that intensifies the sense of confinement within this impoverished environment. A bucket sits prominently in the foreground, symbolizing their daily struggle for survival. Cooking utensils scattered around further emphasize their meager existence while a pipe protruding from one corner hints at their desperate attempts to find solace or escape from their dire circumstances. The male figures depicted exude strength despite their worn-out appearances, embodying the indomitable spirit found even in such challenging situations. Their distinctly Chinese features serve as a reminder that poverty knows no boundaries and affects people across all cultures. John Thomson's photographic masterpiece serves as both documentation and social commentary on the plight faced by those living on society's fringes. It invites viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about inequality and challenges us to reflect upon our own responsibility towards creating a more just world.
