Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

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
Step back in time to the year 1893, where a bustling crowd gathers at a fair in Epping Forest. Amongst the sea of Victorian-era individuals, one brave lady stands out as she prepares to take on the infamous "death slide."
This ride, now known for its dramatic name, appears rather tame compared to modern-day thrill rides. However, judging by the expression on this woman's face, it seems that even in the 19th century, amusement park attractions could still pack a punch.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can't help but marvel at the leisurely pursuits of our ancestors. The excitement and joy radiating from the crowd remind us that no matter the era, humans have always sought out entertainment and fun.
So next time you find yourself waiting in line for a roller coaster or spinning teacups at your local fairground, remember this image of simpler times. And perhaps take a moment to appreciate how far we've come in terms of amusement park technology – after all, would you dare take on a ride called the "death slide" today?
