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 photograph, taken in the historic French city of Rouen during the tumultuous year of 1917, captures the resilience and determination of the British Post Office during World War I. Amidst the chaos and destruction of the ongoing conflict, the postal service continued to function, ensuring that the vital lines of communication remained open between the soldiers at the front and their loved ones back home. The image shows a British postal worker, identified as Julien Tfelt, carefully sorting through sacks of mail in front of the imposing facade of the British Post Office. The ornate building, with its grand columns and intricate details, stands in stark contrast to the rough terrain and makeshift surroundings. In the foreground, the statue of Francois-Adrien Boieldieu, a renowned French composer, adds an unexpected touch of culture and sophistication to the scene. Boieldieu's statue, which can still be found in Rouen's Place du Vieux-Marché, served as a reminder of the shared artistic and historical heritage between the warring nations. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of the wartime communications and postal service, as they worked tirelessly to maintain the morale of the troops and keep the world connected during the darkest days of the First World War.
