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
This evocative aerial photograph captures the destruction wrought upon Singapore during the Japanese invasion in 1942. Taken by the Air Ministry, the image provides a stark contrast to the vibrant and bustling cityscape that once was. The harbor and waterfront, filled with ships and bustling activity just a few months prior, now lie in ruins. The eye-catching expanse of the Singapore Straits, a natural harbor that played a crucial role in Singapore's economic success, is now dotted with sunken vessels and debris. The image, dated May 18, 1942, offers a glimpse into the devastating impact of World War II on the city-state. The British colonial capital, which had been considered an impregnable fortress, was taken by surprise when the Japanese forces invaded on February 15, 1942. The fall of Singapore marked the largest surrender of British-held territory in history, with over 80,000 British, Indian, and Australian troops taken prisoner. The ruins in this photograph serve as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. The destruction of infrastructure and homes left countless civilians displaced and struggling to survive. The image also underscores the importance of resilience and the ability to rebuild in the face of adversity. Today, Singapore has transformed into a thriving metropolis, a testament to the indomitable spirit of its people.
