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 showcases the iconic Progress 1 spacecraft, a remarkable achievement of the Soviet space program. Docked to a Salyut space station on its right side, this unmanned supply vehicle is seen in all its glory at an exhibition in Dusseldorf, Germany. The monochrome image beautifully captures the essence of this technological marvel. Measuring around 2.5 meters in diameter and 7.5 meters long, the Progress spacecraft played a crucial role in transporting essential cargo to both Salyut and Mir space stations during their operational years from 1978 to 1990. This particular module was launched on January 20th, 1978 but sadly met its demise upon re-entry on February 8th of that same year. With a total of 42 Progress modules launched as part of the original program, these unmanned vehicles symbolize Russia's dedication to advancing their manned spaceflight capabilities during the intense Space Race era. Pioneering new frontiers in technology and transportation, they were instrumental in sustaining human presence beyond Earth's atmosphere. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of the incredible achievements made by our Russian counterparts but also how far humanity has come since those early days of space exploration. It serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and progress within our vast universe.
