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
February 16, 1915: A Reverie Amidst the Chaos of War This reverse postcard, titled 'Night, View, No Mans Land, France, 1915,' captures a moment of quiet reflection amidst the turmoil of the First World War. The soldier, identified only as 'Am,' writes to his mother, 'Ma,' from a hospital bed. Despite the improvement in his injured finger, he anticipates a long recovery, possibly taking a week or more before he is 'quite right.' He expresses hope that they might stop the draft 'some time' after leaving the base, but for now, he finds comfort in the 'comfortable' conditions of the camp. The serene image on the reverse contrasts starkly with the soldier's words. The nighttime scene of the French countryside, with its tranquil water and starry sky, serves as a poignant reminder of the peaceful world that lies beyond the 'no man's land' of the battlefield. The soldier's words, penned in careful, deliberate script, underscore the fragility of life in the face of war. The postcard, with its faded edges and creased surface, bears the weight of history. It is a testament to the human spirit, the resilience of those who endured the horrors of war, and the enduring bond between a soldier and his loved ones.
