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 evocative photograph, titled "Bicycles a082787," captures a moment of simple tranquility in rural England during the 1950s. Taken by renowned photographer John Gay, the image features two bicycles casually leaned against a weathered stone wall. The wall, covered in moss and lichen, stands as a testament to the passage of time, while the bicycles, with their worn tires and rusted chains, suggest a journey recently completed. The scene is quintessentially English, with the rolling hills and verdant greenery stretching out in the background. The absence of people in the image adds to the sense of stillness and serenity, inviting the viewer to imagine the quiet moments of rural life. The photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of nature and the great outdoors were cherished. John Gay's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, making it a timeless treasure in the annals of English photography.
