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 print takes us back to the historic moment of VE Day celebrations on Coventry's High Street. The scene is filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and relief as the end of World War II is finally announced. Flags, bunting, and patriotic decorations adorn every corner, transforming the street into a vibrant sea of colors. As we gaze towards Earl Street, our eyes are immediately drawn to the countless flags fluttering in the wind. Each flag represents a symbol of unity and victory for all those who fought valiantly during this tumultuous time. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst destruction and hardship, hope can prevail. The bustling shops lining both sides of the street add to the lively atmosphere. Their windows proudly display messages of gratitude and support for those who served their country selflessly. The resilience and determination exhibited by Coventry's community shine through in this image, showcasing their unwavering spirit despite enduring heavy bombings during the war. Transported back to May 8th, 1945, we can almost hear the cheers echoing through these streets as people come together to celebrate this monumental occasion. This photograph encapsulates not only a specific moment in history but also captures humanity's ability to find solace and strength in times of adversity. Memory Lane Prints has beautifully preserved this snapshot from our past—a testament to courage, sacrifice, and ultimately triumph over darkness—an image that will forever remind us never to take peace for granted.
