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).

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Peek Beneath the Surface: A 19th-Century Vision of Earth's Solid Crust (Cross-section of the Solid Crust of Planet Earth, 1879) 2. Description: This image, dated 1879, offers a fascinating glimpse into the scientific understanding of our planet during the late 19th century. The print, titled "Cross-section of the Solid Crust of Planet Earth," presents a detailed representation of Earth's solid crust as it was then perceived. 3. Context: At the time this image was created, the scientific community's knowledge of the Earth's interior was limited. The theory of plate tectonics, which describes the large-scale movements of Earth's crust, had not yet been proposed. Consequently, scientists believed that the Earth's crust was a single, solid mass. 4. Composition: The print features a cross-section of the Earth's solid crust, revealing various geological formations and structures. The image is divided into several distinct layers, each representing a different type of rock. These layers include the upper crust, the lower crust, and the mantle. 5. Natural Phenomena: The print also illustrates several natural phenomena, such as volcanic activity and earthquakes. Volcanoes are depicted as vertical fissures, while earthquakes are represented as horizontal lines. These features were believed to be the result of the Earth's internal heat and pressure. 6. Significance: This 1879 print serves as a testament to the evolving understanding of our planet's geology. It provides a glimpse into the scientific thought of the time and demonstrates the progression of knowledge in the field of Earth sciences. 7. Conclusion: The "Cross-section of the Solid Crust of Planet Earth" print is a captivating reminder of the rich history of scientific exploration and discovery. It offers a unique perspective on the Earth's solid crust as it was understood in the late 19th century and serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of scientific knowledge.
