Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant and historically significant photograph captured by the British Official Photograph during World War II in 1944, we witness a dramatic scene unfolding amidst the vast expanse of water. The crew members of a sinking German U-Boat find themselves desperately scrambling into lifeboats after being struck by a relentless British fighter aircraft. The image encapsulates the sheer chaos and urgency that defined naval warfare during this tumultuous era. As billowing smoke engulfs the wreckage, remnants of an explosive encounter between two formidable forces are scattered across the surface of the sea. The crew members' faces reflect both fear and determination as they navigate their way to safety, their survival instincts kicking into overdrive. This snapshot serves as a stark reminder of the immense sacrifices made by individuals on both sides during times of conflict. It symbolizes not only the devastating consequences war can have on human lives but also showcases humanity's resilience in dire circumstances. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints, this historical artifact transports us back to an era where nations clashed for supremacy while ordinary men found themselves caught up in extraordinary circumstances. It stands as a testament to those who fought valiantly at sea, reminding us never to forget their bravery and unwavering spirit amidst such harrowing conditions.
