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 spirit of determination and patriotism as Lord Kitchener's New Army recruits march proudly along Queens Avenue at Aldershot, preparing for an inspection by King George V in September 1914. The First World War had only just begun, and the need for soldiers was urgent. Lord Kitchener, the Secretary of State for War, had launched a national recruitment campaign to mobilize volunteers for the British Army. Thousands of men responded to the call, flocking to training camps like Aldershot in Hampshire. In this image, we see rows upon rows of fresh-faced recruits, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, as they march with discipline and precision. The sight of King George V, the monarch and Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, watching from a distance adds a sense of gravity and importance to the scene. The Royal Standard flies proudly above the inspection party, symbolizing the connection between the monarchy and the military. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and unity, as these young men come together to serve their country in its time of need. The scene is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people during the early stages of the Great War. This photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the wartime experience and the spirit of the era.
