Poster Print : The Union Flag over the Lucknow Residency
Poster Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
The Union Flag over the Lucknow Residency
On 15 August, 1947, British India ended and the two new Dominions of India and Pakistan came into being under Independence. New flags were raised at the new capitals, Delhi and Karachi respectively. On this day the flag over the ruins of Lucknow Residency was lowered for the first and last time, since 1858 - the year in which direct British rule in India replaced that of the British East India Company following the Indian Mutiny, or Sepoy Rebellion, of 1857-1858. Date: 23/08/1947

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.
