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
This print takes us back in time to the iconic Festival of Britain, held on London's South Bank in 1951. The image beautifully captures the exterior view of the Thameside Restaurant, a prominent structure that stood as a testament to the innovative spirit and artistic vision of this grand event. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where post-war optimism was palpable. The Festival of Britain sought to showcase British achievements in art, design, science, and technology while celebrating the nation's resilience and progress. And what better way to do so than through architecture? The Thameside Restaurant stands proudly against the backdrop of the River Thames, its sleek lines and modernist style embodying a sense of forward-thinking elegance. Its large windows invite natural light into its interior spaces while offering breathtaking views across one of London's most famous waterways. This photograph is not just a mere documentation; it is an invitation to explore our past with curiosity and admiration for those who came before us. It reminds us that even amidst challenging times, creativity can flourish and inspire generations. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this image serves as a valuable historical record—a window into a momentous occasion that shaped both London's landscape and cultural identity forever.
