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 evocative black-and-white photograph from the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, the air is thick with anticipation as the race gets underway at the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe in France. The sun has barely risen over the picturesque countryside, casting long shadows across the track, as a sea of spectators gathers around the starting grid. In the foreground, a group of intrepid drivers, dressed in their iconic racing attire, are seen making a mad dash towards their cars. The tension in their faces is palpable as they prepare to embark on the grueling endurance race that lies ahead. The roar of engines can be heard in the distance, signaling the imminent start of the race. The atmosphere at Le Mans in 1966 was unlike any other, with the spirit of competition and camaraderie among the drivers and teams creating an electric energy that could be felt throughout the circuit. The 24-hour race was a true test of man and machine, with drivers pushing themselves and their cars to the limit in a bid to cross the finish line first. This photograph captures the raw essence of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, a time when motorsport was still in its infancy and the thrill of the race was the only thing that mattered. The image is a testament to the passion and dedication of the drivers, teams, and fans who came together to celebrate the art and science of motorsport at one of the world's most iconic racing events.
