Mark –
So pleased you love this digitally remastered and enlarged print Chloe. Thanks for commenting on the value for money too. We are not the cheapest but the level of work and love which goes into digitally remastering each print is huge making them incomparable to cheap (or free) low resolution public domain prints or prints which have simply been enlarged without any effort. Thanks again.
