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 nostalgic print from August 1984, we are transported back to a simpler time filled with laughter and friendly competition. Craig Smith and Gail Smith can be seen carefully measuring the size of a leek, their faces displaying determination mixed with excitement. Standing by their side is Joanne Kindley, her eyes fixed on the vibrant green vegetable as if it holds some secret treasure. Amanda Bell also joins in on the action, her curiosity piqued by this unusual pastime. The group is under the watchful eye of their teacher John Strachan, who seems just as invested in this peculiar activity as his students. Together, they are preparing for an upcoming leek show at the Wallsend Festival – a challenge that will pit them against their fathers and grandfathers. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also showcases the importance of community and tradition. It reminds us of how simple pleasures like tending to gardens or participating in local events brought people together during those carefree days of the 1980s. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but feel a sense of warmth and nostalgia wash over us. It serves as a gentle reminder that amidst our busy lives today, there is still value in embracing leisurely activities that connect us with nature and each other – just like these children did all those years ago with their beloved leeks.
