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 evocative photograph captures the moment of high drama as Royal Air Force (RAF) motor lifeboats rush to the aid of a distressed pilot who has crash-landed at sea. The daring rescue took place in 1932, and the RAF boats, built at the British Power Boats works in Southampton, were powered by 100 h.p. engines, enabling them to travel at an impressive speed of 26 miles per hour. The agile boats were essential for the RAF's maritime operations, providing vital support to pilots in distress and conducting search and rescue missions. The image shows the skill and bravery of the RAF crew as they navigate the choppy waters to reach the stranded pilot. The pilot, wearing his aviator's helmet and goggles, clings to the wreckage of his plane, a testament to the perilous nature of flying over the sea. The RAF motor lifeboats, with their powerful engines and streamlined design, cut through the waves with ease, providing a vital lifeline to those in need. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that the RAF played in ensuring the safety of its pilots and personnel during the early days of aviation. The boats, built with the latest technology, were a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the British engineering industry and the bravery and dedication of the RAF personnel who operated them.
