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 evocative photograph captures the determination and bravery of an Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) worker during the tumultuous 1940s. Amid the chaos and destruction wrought by the Second World War, particularly in London, these unsung heroes played a crucial role in protecting communities from the ravages of fire. The AFS was formed in 1938 as a civilian response to the threat of air raids and the potential for widespread fires. With the regular fire brigade stretched thin, these volunteers were trained to use firefighting equipment and respond to emergencies. In this image, the AFS worker is seen donning his waterproof uniform and preparing an emergency appliance - a vital piece of equipment in the wet and unpredictable British weather. The axe attached to his belt is a common tool used to gain access to buildings or clear debris. The AFS was an integral part of the war effort, with many of its members also serving in the armed forces. Their work was often dangerous and demanding, but their commitment to protecting their communities was unwavering. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the courage and resilience of those who served in the Auxiliary Fire Service. The photograph was taken at AFS headquarters during the 1940s, a time when London and other cities were under constant threat from air raids and the ever-present danger of fire. The image is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the AFS workers, who risked their lives to keep their communities safe during a time of great uncertainty and upheaval.
