A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. 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.
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. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 37.6cm x 59.4cm (14.8" x 23.4")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1908 with this hilarious and cheeky print titled "Things are looking up." Two dapper gents are strolling down the pavement when they suddenly spot a pretty young housemaid cleaning the upstairs windows of a nearby property. The expressions on their faces say it all - pure delight at having caught her attention.
The lads can't help but peer and leer at the maid, admiring her from afar as she goes about her chores. The scene is filled with playful humor and innocent flirtation, capturing a moment of light-hearted fun in days gone by.
As the gentlemen sit on the windowsill, legs dangling over the edge, one can only imagine what witty banter or charming compliments they might be exchanging with the object of their admiration. The maid, cloth in hand, seems unfazed by their antics as she continues to clean away.
This comic postcard is a perfect blend of visual and verbal comedy, showcasing a snapshot of everyday life in early 20th century Britain. It's a reminder that sometimes all it takes is a simple glance upwards to brighten your day and put a smile on your face.
