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 42cm x 55.4cm (16.5" x 21.8")

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

These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

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

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.
