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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A British Convoy Heading Towards the Somme Front: A Snapshot of the Western Front during the First World War" This evocative photograph captures a convoy of 21 British trucks, laden with essential supplies, making their way towards the Somme section of the Western Front in 1916. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a poignant glimpse into the logistical efforts required to sustain the Allied forces during the First World War. The convoy, which appears to be making its way through a muddy and rutted road, underscores the harsh conditions faced by soldiers and support personnel. The trucks, bearing the insignia of the British Army Service Corps, are filled to capacity with crates, barrels, and other supplies, likely destined for the front lines. The Somme Front, a notorious battleground during the war, was the site of some of the bloodiest fighting in history. The Battle of the Somme, which took place between July and November 1916, resulted in over one million casualties. The image of the convoy heading towards this section of the Western Front serves as a reminder of the immense sacrifices made by soldiers and support personnel during this pivotal moment in world history. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique and valuable perspective on the First World War. It not only highlights the logistical challenges faced by the Allied forces but also underscores the resilience and determination of the men and women who played a crucial role in the war effort. This image, with its rich historical significance, is an essential addition to any collection focused on the First World War or military history. It provides a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during this global conflict and the importance of logistical support in shaping the outcome of military engagements.
