A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. 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 poignant print captured on June 3rd, 1994, an elderly woman takes a moment to pause and reflect in front of the World War Two prefab shop located at the intersection of Corporation Street and Hill Street in Coventry. It is likely that she gazes upon it for what could be the last time, as plans are underway to demolish these historic structures to make way for redevelopment. The image encapsulates the essence of the 1990s, belonging to a bygone era of the 20th century. The architecture of these prefabricated shops stands as a testament to their resilience throughout six or seven decades. As we observe closely, we notice how they have served not only as commercial spaces but also as symbols of community and memory. Accompanied solely by her walking stick, this senior woman embodies strength and wisdom gained through years lived. Her presence adds depth to the photograph's narrative—perhaps she has frequented this corner shop countless times over her lifetime or witnessed significant moments unfold within its walls. Surrounding her are signs advertising ladies' wear and nearly new items—a glimpse into past shopping trends and consumer culture. However, let us not forget that beyond its commercial value lies an emotional connection shared between people like this elderly woman and their local establishments. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to appreciate both architectural history and human stories woven within our urban landscapes.
