Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Polperro, Cornwall, before 1893. The subject of this portrait is none other than John Geach, a renowned fisherman who epitomizes the essence and spirit of Cornish life. John Geach's weathered face tells a thousand stories - his eyes reflecting a lifetime spent battling the tempestuous seas that surround this rugged coastline. With every line etched on his face, we can sense the resilience and determination that define him as a true Cornish personality. Photographed by Lewis Harding, this image captures more than just an individual; it encapsulates an entire community's way of life. Geach stands tall against the backdrop of Polperro's quaint harbor, showcasing both strength and humility in equal measure. His weather-beaten hands speak volumes about years spent hauling nets filled with fresh catch while braving treacherous waves. This photograph serves as a testament to not only Geach's character but also to all those hardworking fishermen who have shaped Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are reminded of how deeply intertwined people like John Geach were with their environment – resilient yet vulnerable against nature’s whims. It is through such images that history comes alive, allowing us to appreciate and honor those whose lives have contributed so profoundly to our cultural tapestry.
