Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

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
This print by John Gay transports us back to a serene churchyard in Somerset, April 1953. The image showcases a poignant scene - a solitary church bell lying on its side, seemingly forgotten amidst the tranquility of the cemetery. Its weathered exterior tells tales of countless years spent tolling for joyous occasions and solemn moments alike. The composition exudes an air of melancholy as we ponder the history behind this displaced bell. Was it damaged during wartime or perhaps replaced with a newer model? Regardless, it now rests silently among the gravestones, serving as a silent witness to generations past. Gay's expert eye captures not only the physical beauty of this relic but also evokes emotions that resonate deeply within us. The juxtaposition between life and death is palpable; vibrant flowers bloom nearby while moss slowly claims its territory on the cold stone surface. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of our own mortality and how time has an uncanny ability to transform even the most sacred objects into relics from another era. It serves as a reminder to cherish each moment and appreciate those who came before us. John Gay's skillful lens immortalizes this hauntingly beautiful scene, allowing viewers to reflect upon their own connection to history and contemplate what legacies they will leave behind when their time comes.
