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
Prempeh, last of the Ashanti kings, Ghana, 1922. This black and white portrait captures the regal presence of Prempeh, the final ruler of the Ashanti kingdom in Ghana. The photograph was taken by PA McCann as part of a comprehensive collection titled Peoples of All Nations, Their Life Today and the Story of Their Past. In this striking image, Prempeh's direct gaze exudes confidence and authority. His well-groomed facial hair adds to his distinguished appearance, symbolizing his status as a monarch. The head and shoulders composition focuses our attention on his powerful countenance while also highlighting his traditional attire. The photograph serves as a testament to both African history and royal lineage. Premiered in London in 1922 under JA Hammerton's editorial guidance, this volume aimed to educate readers about diverse cultures across continents during that era. Prempeh's reign marked an important period for Ghanaian history as he navigated through colonial rule under British Empire influence. Asante sovereignty is showcased here with pride and resilience against external forces seeking control over their land. This monochrome print has been preserved by The Print Collector6 at Heritage Images for historical documentation purposes only. It stands as a reminder of Africa's rich heritage and its enduring legacy within global narratives.
