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 poignant photograph captured on August 20th, 1977, we witness a heart-wrenching moment at the Belle Vue Zoo. One of the beloved chimpanzees, adorned in their signature blue coat, holds up a for sale sign as news spreads that the zoo is set to close its doors forever on September 11th. The chimp's expressive eyes reflect a mixture of loneliness, melancholy, and nervousness. It seems to understand the gravity of the situation - that it will soon be separated from its familiar surroundings and companions. The sadness emanating from its posture tugs at our heartstrings. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the emotional depth and intelligence exhibited by these incredible creatures. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are compelled to contemplate not only their physical captivity but also their psychological well-being. The for sale sign held by this sentient being symbolizes an uncertain future filled with unknown faces and unfamiliar environments. It speaks volumes about how animals can be reduced to mere commodities when circumstances dictate so. Through this evocative photograph by Mirrorpix from Memory Lane Prints, we are invited into a world where empathy meets reality; where animals' lives intersect with human decisions. May it serve as a catalyst for reflection on our responsibility towards all living beings who share this planet with us.
