This item is a photograph and is a reproduction that has been created from the original image and made into a digital file for printing. All my postcards and photographs are my own and have been scanned at 1200DPI for best results and superior image quality.



All my images have been professionally retouched to a high standard and restored as close as possible to the original postcard / photograph that I can get. I restore each photo 100% by hand and don't stop until it looks perfect. An average photo restoration takes me around 4 hours.



All my photographs are printed using C-Type Photographic Printing (also known as Silver Halide printing) This is a 100-year-old dark room technology using light-sensitive paper and silver-based chemistry, a technology which has been constantly refined over time. Silver Halide photographic prints is one of the most archival forms of printing photos and preserving memories.
