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 image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a scene of determination and perseverance in the face of winter's wrath. Circa 1820, in the picturesque town of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, a Birmingham Mail delivery is inexorably embedded in a heavy snowfall. The mail, a vital lifeline for communication and connection in an era before modern technology, refuses to be halted by the harsh winter conditions. A guard, bundled up against the cold, takes the mailbags carefully from two of the horses, ensuring the precious cargo remains undamaged. The horses, their breath visible in the frosty air, stand patiently, their hooves sinking into the snow with each step. The stagecoaches, a common sight on the roads of the time, are also visible in the background, their wheels spinning impotently in the deep snow. Despite the challenges posed by the weather, the mail must be delivered, and so the journey continues, one step at a time. This evocative photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the resilience and resourcefulness of those who came before us. It serves as a reminder of the importance of connection, even in the most trying of circumstances.
