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).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bill Kennedy takes us back to the bustling streets of South Kensington in June 1976. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as an Arab man gracefully steps out of a taxi on Gloucester Road. Dressed impeccably in traditional attire, he exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The man's outfit is a beautiful blend of cultural heritage and contemporary style. He wears a thawb, a long flowing robe that drapes around his body with grace and poise. Adorned with intricate patterns and delicate embroidery, it showcases the rich craftsmanship associated with Middle Eastern fashion. Completing his ensemble, the man dons sunglasses that shield his eyes from the bright summer sun. Their sleek design adds a touch of modernity to his classic attire, creating an intriguing contrast between tradition and innovation. One cannot help but notice the keffiyeh draped loosely around his neck—a symbol synonymous with Arab culture—adding another layer of authenticity to this scene. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to an era where travel was filled with adventure and discovery. It serves as a reminder of how diverse cultures intertwine within cosmopolitan cities like London—where individuals from all walks of life come together to create vibrant tapestries woven by their unique stories. Bill Kennedy's lens has captured not just an Arab man stepping out onto Gloucester Road but also encapsulated the essence of multiculturalism that defines our world today.
