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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the University of Cambridge SPRI, takes us back in time to the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76. Led by the intrepid George Strong Nares, this image showcases a pivotal moment before embarking on their arduous journey. The scene unfolds on the icy terrain surrounding the sailing ship Discovery. In anticipation of their expedition into North Greenland, two sledges stand proudly amidst a group of determined explorers. These sledges serve as vital transportation and storage vessels for supplies essential to survival in such unforgiving conditions. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn not only to the meticulous preparation evident in every detail but also to the awe-inspiring backdrop that nature has painted. Snow-covered hills stretch endlessly into the distance, creating an ethereal atmosphere that both captivates and humbles those who dare venture forth. It is impossible not to be struck by the sense of camaraderie emanating from these brave souls standing resolute against Mother Nature's formidable challenges. Their faces betray a mix of excitement and trepidation as they prepare themselves mentally and physically for what lies ahead. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for exploration and discovery. It encapsulates both our indomitable spirit and our humble place within nature's grand design. Preserved through time on an original lantern slide format, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history while simultaneously inviting contemplation about mankind's relationship with Earth's most extreme environments. The Scott Polar Research Institute allows us access to these invaluable records so that we may better understand our past endeavors while shaping future ones with wisdom gained from those who came before us.
