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 photograph, titled "Salford Slum; The Housing Jungle". Raymond Kleboe transports us back to the gritty streets of 1950s England. The image captures a scene that is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply poignant. Amidst the dilapidated buildings of a Salford slum, a line of washing stretches across the street like a fragile lifeline. This simple act of hanging laundry outdoors becomes an emblematic symbol of domestic life in Europe's urban underbelly. It speaks volumes about the resilience and resourcefulness of those living in these impoverished conditions. The composition exudes authenticity as it invites us to explore every detail within its frame. From the worn-out facades to the tangled web of clotheslines, each element tells a story of struggle and survival. Kleboe's keen eye for capturing raw emotions shines through, making this photograph not just an artistic masterpiece but also a historical document. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that behind every crumbling brick lies human lives filled with dreams, hardships, and aspirations. Through his lens, Kleboe sheds light on forgotten corners where poverty thrived but dignity endured. This print from Fine Art Storehouse serves as a powerful reminder that art has the ability to transcend time and space by immortalizing moments that might otherwise be lost or overlooked.
