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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage World War II poster takes us back in time, showcasing a chef holding an onion with a tear in his eye. The image is digitally enhanced to bring out the vibrant colors and intricate details of this propaganda piece. With its old-fashioned illustration technique and Western script text, it serves as both an advertisement and a form of communication during the war effort. The poster's message is clear: "Know your onions, make all the food go all the way, food is ammunition don't waste it". It emphasizes the importance of utilizing every resource available to support the military and conserve supplies. The chef symbolizes skill and expertise in cooking, reminding viewers that even seemingly small actions can contribute significantly to the war. In this vertical composition against a colored background, we see pride and patriotism reflected in the chef's determined gaze as he holds his knife firmly alongside the tear-inducing onion. This powerful imagery not only highlights American history but also addresses social issues surrounding food scarcity during wartime. John Parrot's digital enhancement brings new life to this historical artwork while preserving its retro charm. As we admire this print today, let us remember how past generations faced challenges head-on with creativity and resilience – lessons that remain relevant even now.
