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
In this charming photograph from the 1960s, a young boy is seen completely engrossed in play with his Scalextric car race track. The intricate and detailed model track, adorned with lush green grass and meticulously crafted curves, winds its way around the room, creating an exciting and imaginative landscape for the miniature cars to race upon. The electric track system, a groundbreaking innovation in toy technology at the time, is showcased in all its glory, with the wires and transformer neatly tucked away, allowing the focus to remain on the thrilling action taking place on the track. The little boy, dressed in a casual outfit and wearing a determined expression, skillfully maneuvers one of his toy cars along the track, no doubt eager to see it reach the finish line before his competitors. The other cars, lined up at the starting gate, await their turn to race, adding to the sense of excitement and anticipation in the room. The warm, natural light filtering in from the window bathes the scene in a soft, golden glow, creating a nostalgic and idyllic atmosphere. Scalextric, a British brand of electric slot car racing sets, first hit the market in the late 1950s and quickly became a popular pastime for children and adults alike. This photograph captures the essence of a simpler time, when the joy of play was found in the simple pleasures of model cars and a well-crafted race track. The image is a delightful reminder of the enduring appeal of toys and the role they play in shaping the memories and experiences of our childhoods.
