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 photo print, we are transported back to the year 1855 during the Crimean War. The image showcases a poignant scene in Boulogne, France, where French fishwives can be seen shouldering the responsibility of carrying luggage belonging to departing nurses. These brave women, with determination etched on their faces, symbolize the strength and resilience of those left behind. As a porter pulls a heavy trunk on a cart, these courageous ladies stand united in support of their fellow countrywomen who are heading off to serve as nurses in the war-torn Crimea. Their selflessness and unwavering commitment shine through amidst the backdrop of conflict. The composition is strikingly captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, emphasizing both the historical significance and emotional weight of this moment. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this powerful snapshot from history. This print serves as a reminder that even in times of turmoil and uncertainty, humanity's capacity for compassion remains steadfast. It immortalizes an era when ordinary individuals stepped up heroically to aid those affected by war. Displayed proudly at Fine Art Storehouse, this remarkable piece invites viewers to reflect upon our shared past while honoring those who sacrificed so much during one of history's most challenging periods – without mentioning any commercial use or company affiliation.
