A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. 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. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by photographer Paul Hobson, we find ourselves in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, where an unexpected visitor has made itself at home. Meet the Harlequin Ladybird (Harmonia axyridis succinea), an introduced species causing quite a buzz among nature enthusiasts. Perched delicately on a vibrant leaf, this Asian insect showcases its stunning red and black patterned wings. With its exotic appearance and alien origins, it's no wonder this little critter stands out amidst the English countryside. As autumn sets in and temperatures cool down, our ladybird friend takes advantage of some well-deserved rest. But don't be fooled by its serene pose! This arthropod is not just any ordinary ladybird; it belongs to a subspecies known for being invasive pests. While native ladybirds have long been cherished symbols of British wildlife, these newcomers from Asia bring their own unique flair to the scene. Their introduction may have caused some ecological concerns but hey, they certainly know how to make an entrance! So next time you're strolling through Sheffield or exploring the wilds of Yorkshire, keep your eyes peeled for these fascinating invaders from afar. Who knows what other surprises await us as nature continues to weave its intricate tapestry across England's green landscapes?
