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
The iconic print captures a significant moment in history when the world witnessed the dawn of the Space Age. The front page of the San Francisco Chronicle from October 5,1957, showcases a groundbreaking event that would forever change humanity's understanding of space exploration. In bold letters, the headline reads "Russ Satellite Sighted Over S. F" referring to none other than Sputnik I - the first human-made object to orbit our planet. This image transports us back to a time filled with awe and wonder as people across America grappled with this remarkable achievement by their Cold War rivals, the Soviet Union. The black-and-white photograph portrays an era where technological advancements were rapidly reshaping global dynamics. The moon looms large in the background, symbolizing mankind's eternal fascination with what lies beyond our earthly boundaries. Amidst this celestial backdrop stands an American newspaper, serving as a testament to how news traveled during those times before digital media dominated our lives. Through this historical artifact, we are reminded not only of scientific milestones but also of political tensions and competition between nations vying for dominance in space exploration. This single image encapsulates both national pride and international intrigue as it immortalizes an event that propelled humanity into uncharted territories. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this invaluable piece of history so that future generations can reflect upon its significance and appreciate how one small satellite sparked a revolution in our understanding of outer space.
