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.

US Flats - A Glimpse into New York's Innovative Housing of the 1920s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to April 1926, when a groundbreaking architectural project was underway in New York City. Captured by the skilled lens of Topical Press Agency, this image showcases an extraordinary housing development constructed on stilts. The landscape is dominated by these towering structures, their unique design defying convention and capturing the essence of early 20th-century style. The stilts elevate the buildings above ground level, creating a striking visual spectacle that challenges traditional notions of urban living. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely drawn to the remarkable architecture itself. The absence of color further accentuates its timeless beauty and allows us to focus on every intricate detail. These flats stand as a testament to human ingenuity and progressive thinking during an era marked by rapid social change. They embody both functionality and artistic expression, seamlessly blending form with purpose. As we delve deeper into this archival masterpiece from Fine Art Storehouse, we are transported across continents – from England where it was captured through Topical Press Agency's lens to the bustling streets of New York City where it found its home. This print serves as a reminder that art transcends boundaries – be they geographical or temporal – offering us glimpses into history while inspiring future generations with its enduring allure.
