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.

Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 52.3cm x 42cm (20.6" x 16.5")

Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")

These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in April 1973, we witness a powerful display of unity and rebellion as 2000 Motorcycle Action Group members ride down Union Street in Torquay. This historic moment captures the essence of the 1970s counterculture movement, with its distinctive fashion and anti-establishment sentiment. The bikers are on their way from Newton Abbot to Plymouth, protesting against the helmet laws that they believed infringed upon their personal freedom. As they thunder through the streets of Devon, their roaring engines create an exhilarating symphony that resonates with both nostalgia and defiance. This image transports us back to a time when demonstrations were commonplace and individuals fought passionately for causes they believed in. The sight of these motorcyclists clad in leather jackets adorned with patches evokes a sense of camaraderie among like-minded rebels who refused to conform. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then. It prompts us to reflect on our own values regarding personal liberties and challenges us to question whether we have become complacent or if there is still room for protest today. This remarkable print by Memory Lane Prints encapsulates not only an era but also the spirit of those who dared to challenge authority while riding on two wheels through the bustling streets of England's South West region.
