Our Vintage Images
The presentation of
our vintage images requires that we answer the two most frequently
asked questions. Where do we get them and how do we restore
them. The answer to the first question is easy. Years
and years of collecting affords us to present our images to you in
the best possible format. We have albums, boxes and small
sacks full of images that we have collected for over 40
years. Our vintage images come from antique stores, via
gifts from family members and in a couple of cases, bequests in
wills. Their original format includes calling cards, post
cards and greeting cards. How we restore them is not as easy
to answer. Many steps go into this process and since no two
images are alike, the process varies. Our first step is of
course, to thoroughly research the image for copyrights. You
can be assured that every image we photograph we own and may
legally present and sell to you for your own work. Our
images are NOT public domain images and the way we restore and
present our images to you in the final photographed format is
copyrighted to us. All of the textures we use are hand
painted by us in Photoshop and also copyrighted to us.
Please note, that at this time we can not take requests for
personal restoration of images. It takes many weeks to make
the proper restoration of an image and our own images will keep us busy for
years to come.
