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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the docks of Alexandria, Egypt, in the late 19th century. The image, taken around the 1880s or 1890s, presents a panoramic view of the harbor, filled with ships of various sizes and shapes, their sails billowing in the wind. The docks themselves are teeming with workers and porters, loading and unloading goods from the ships, while horse-drawn carts and carriages wait to transport the cargo to its final destination. In the background, the distinctive architecture of Alexandria's urban landscape comes into view, with grand buildings and narrow streets creating a mosaic of activity and culture. The city's iconic landmarks, such as the Pharos Lighthouse and the Alexandria Library, can be glimpsed in the distance, adding to the historical significance of the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich and vibrant history of Alexandria, a city that has long been a melting pot of different cultures and traditions. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the daily life and activity of this bustling port city during an era of great change and transformation. The photograph's vintage aesthetic, with its grainy texture and muted colors, only adds to its authenticity and charm, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical images of Alexandria and Egypt.
