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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a somber moment during the turbulent Revolutionary period in Russia, circa 1917. The image shows a group of individuals carrying wreaths to honor the fallen Bolsheviks, who bravely fought for their beliefs during this time of political upheaval.
Amongst the group are two men who were believed to be Lenin and Trotsky, iconic figures in Russian history. However, it is now understood that the photographer was mistaken about their identities. Despite this error, the solemnity and respect shown towards these unknown fallen comrades is palpable in the photograph.
The symbolism of the wreaths being carried to adorn the graves of these brave individuals speaks volumes about the sacrifice and dedication displayed by those involved in such tumultuous times. It serves as a poignant reminder of both the human cost of revolution and the importance of honoring those who gave their lives for their cause.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured through this photograph, we are reminded of the complexities and tragedies that often accompany periods of political change. The image stands as a testament to both loss and remembrance, highlighting the enduring impact that such events have on society as a whole.
