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 print captures a rare glimpse of Lisbon before the devastating earthquake of 1755. The city appears serene and majestic, with its iconic buildings and bustling port visible from the sea. This historical image offers a poignant reminder of the vibrant city that once stood proudly along the coast of Portugal.
The calm waters reflect the clear sky above, creating a sense of tranquility that belies the chaos and destruction that would soon befall this picturesque scene. The architecture is intricate and detailed, showcasing the grandeur of Lisbon's past before it was tragically altered by natural disaster.
As we gaze upon this snapshot in time, we are transported back to an era when Lisbon was a thriving hub of culture, commerce, and innovation. The people who lived and worked in these buildings had no idea what lay ahead for their beloved city - they were simply going about their daily lives, unaware of the impending catastrophe.
This print serves as a powerful testament to both the resilience of Lisbon's residents in rebuilding after such devastation, as well as a stark reminder of nature's unpredictable power. It is a valuable piece of history that allows us to connect with the past and appreciate all that has been lost and gained since that fateful day in 1755.
