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.

Spotted: Imperial Airways played an important role in the upsurge in air transport after the First World War, enabling colonial traders and affluent travellers to voyage far and wide across the British Empire, then at its zenith. The spectacular beauty and exotic wildlife of southern and eastern Africa was the source of much European intrigue and adventure, with travellers dreaming of a scene, such as depicted here. The Empire's scale was such that the sun never set on it; but here, it stunningly obliges. The sunset's purple hue silhouettes Africa's natural exotica, with a leopard broodingly glaring into the observer's eye.
