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
1. Title: "The Elusive Sagittario: The Short-Lived Flight of the Reggiane Re2005 Fighter in World War II" 2.. The Reggiane Re2005 Sagittario, a potent Italian fighter aircraft, made its first flight in May 1942. This sleek and agile machine was designed to give the Italian Air Force a much-needed edge in the skies during the Second World War. With its powerful engine and advanced features, the Sagittario was expected to be a formidable opponent for Allied forces. However, the production of this impressive fighter was short-lived. Only 51 examples of the Re2005 Sagittario were built before Italy's unconditional surrender in September 1943. This unfortunate turn of events meant that the Sagittario's true potential in combat remained largely untapped. The Re2005 Sagittario was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Reggiane Aeronautica company during a time when resources were scarce and the odds were against them. Its distinctive design, with its distinctive inverted gull-wing configuration, made it a standout among the Italian aircraft of the era. Despite its brief existence, the Re2005 Sagittario holds a significant place in aviation history. Its story serves as a reminder of the innovation and resilience that characterized the Italian aerospace industry during the Second World War. This photograph captures the essence of this elusive fighter, a symbol of Italy's unrealized potential in the skies during a time of global conflict.
