All our posters are printed using a lithographic printer -  the image is etched by laser onto a coated aluminium plate - to achieve the highest quality results. We also utilise the best quality modern high performance inks that are available, and print onto 100% cotton paper.

Please note that any type of hand-printed image or artwork will fade when placed in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Due to pigments, amongst other factors, colours gradually fade over time, which is sped up when hung in direct sunlight.

It is for this reason that we highly recommend using UV protection when framing our posters, if they will be exposed to sunlight. UV glass acts as a film, and bounces a large majority of UV rays away from the artwork, which will protect it from fading over time.

Sorrowing sighs: Described by UNESCO as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage", the Taj Mahal took 22 years and 22,000 people to complete. In 1631, the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, was devastated by the death of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, and the Taj Mahal was built as a symbol of true love and a final resting place for his beloved wife. So exquisite was the workmanship that he declared; '…The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs. And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes…'
