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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the aftermath of a devastating air raid that struck Coventry on Saturday, October 12th. The image depicts resilient workers diligently clearing up the wreckage left behind by the destructive attack. The central area of the city was particularly hard-hit, with an explosive bomb obliterating the City Arcade and reducing every shop front within it to ruins. The casualties resulting from this harrowing event were staggering: 31 lives tragically lost and 101 individuals injured, among them 27 in critical condition. It serves as a stark reminder of the immense human cost inflicted upon innocent civilians during World War II. Taken in 1940s amidst the chaos of war, this photograph encapsulates both despair and determination. Amidst piles of rubble, these brave men work tirelessly to restore some semblance of normalcy to their shattered community. Their resilience is emblematic of countless others who faced similar destruction across Britain's home front during those dark years. As we gaze upon this haunting snapshot from history, let us remember not only those whose lives were forever altered by conflict but also pay tribute to ordinary people who rose above adversity with unwavering strength. This image stands as a testament to their courage and endurance in times when hope seemed scarce – reminding us all that even amidst devastation, humanity can prevail against all odds.
