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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a sheep horn, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a longitudinal section of the horn, providing an up-close look at its remarkable structure. Composed primarily of the tough protein keratin, which is vividly displayed in this photograph, the horn also contains a hidden core of bone. The magnification level used for this print allows viewers to appreciate every detail when it is printed at 10 centimetres across. The vibrant colors and precise focus highlight the natural elegance found within this piece of nature's design. Sheep horns play an essential role in their biology and overall health. They serve as both protection and weaponry for these majestic animals, enabling them to defend against predators or engage in dominance battles within their herds. Understanding the composition and structure of these horns provides valuable insights into animal anatomy and evolution. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an extraordinary visual representation that merges art with science. This photograph not only captures our attention but also sparks curiosity about the wonders that exist within the animal kingdom. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary elements can possess extraordinary beauty when viewed through the lens of scientific exploration.
