Vintage and historic photos, posters and maps look great in any home – from old villas to new builds. They also add style, character and personality to offices and work reception areas – particularly where there is either a geographic or industry-specific context to the print on display. Many can be printed to quite large sizes. Bespoke sizes are also possible, depending on the specific print chosen and its aspect ratio (width in relation to height). With all older material, particularly photos, there would have been some ageing and deterioration to the original over the years, so an image taken in 1900 will never print as clean and sharp as a modern digital photo. In any event, these imperfections are what makes old images unique and gives them them their charm.

* The minimum print size for vintage posters and historic photos is A4, however the aspect ratio of the file will determine at what proportion of the A4 size it will print. For example, a square photo will not print to fill an A4 unless the photo is cropped. The minimum size for map printing is A3 although Admiralty charts contain a lot of detail and will need to be printed larger.
