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.

The map, depicted in Figure 9 of his renowned publication "Delineation of Strata of England and Wales" is a groundbreaking representation of the geological formations found throughout Great Britain. The image captures the intricate details and vibrant colors present on this historical map, which has become an invaluable resource for understanding the geology of not only England and Wales but also Europe as a whole. William Smith's meticulous work revolutionized the field of geology by introducing stratification principles that laid the foundation for modern geological mapping. Displayed proudly at the Natural History Museum in London, this print serves as a testament to both Smith's scientific brilliance and artistic skill. Each type of rock and stratum is meticulously illustrated, allowing viewers to appreciate the complexity and diversity within Earth's layers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how one individual's dedication can shape our understanding of our planet's history.
