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 print transports us back to the bustling town of Swanley, Kent in 1937. In this snapshot of history, we witness a group of skilled men diligently engaged in the art of basket weaving. Their nimble fingers deftly intertwine strands of natural fibers, meticulously crafting fruit and vegetable baskets that would soon find their purpose in local markets. The image captures not only the craftsmanship but also the spirit of hard work and dedication prevalent during this era between the wars. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing its historical significance. John Topham's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every aspect of this moment frozen in time – from the focused expressions on each worker's face to their synchronized movements as they weave together these functional works of art. It is evident that basket weaving was more than just an occupation; it was a skill passed down through generations, preserving tradition while adapting to modern demands. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of Europe's rich cultural heritage and how everyday tasks like basket making played an integral role in shaping communities. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness – qualities that continue to inspire us today.
