This improved print has been made for you new, in a photo lab. We have taken great care to preserve the sharpness and old look while removing scratches, spots, and other damage that would make it less viewable. We have repaired imperfections and improved tonal values.  

Why buy this photo:  This print would be a good conversation starter in a restaurant, waiting room, lobby, classroom, office, library or museum. Decorators use our sepia-tone prints in a variety of ways to make them look old (see "Tone options" below). This photo could also be a gift for a history buff or someone who has roots on the Gulf coast. It can be resold in a store (see "Wholesale lots" below). Our photos can be used in school reports, presentations, and displays. This is a significantly improved version of the image and must be licensed for use in a publication, production, or other product (see "Licenses" below).

Tone:  Your print will have an albumen and sepia tone as shown unless you request grayscale. Albumen is the type of prints made when this photo was originally printed. Sepia is the color of old prints today, caused by acid in the old paper. Many people prefer the warm sepia tones over cold black and white. Your sepia print will be on acid-free paper, but it will look old. Black and white is available, listed separately. Click "Ask a question" to ask how to purchase black and white.

Border:  Your photo will have a minimum border. This means that there may be some white edges (less than 1/4 inch wide) outside the image so that you can display the maximum amount of the image in a typical device that hides the edges of the print.

Quality:  We select the highest-quality images we can find and carefully restore and improve them. Old photos do not meet today’s high standards due to the limitations of the materials and methods available in those days, and due to aging and damage. But we improve them as much as we can while preserving an old look. Then we process them using modern archival methods so they can be affordable and last for many years.

Packaging:  We carefully roll 11x14 prints and ship them in sturdy mailing tubes.

Shipping time:  Your print will ship the next business day after we receive your payment. If you purchase additional items to ship together, an extra day may also be required. The time required by the postal services to deliver your package depends on shipping method, Customs requirements, weather, holidays, and other factors beyond our control.

Shipping cost:  This item is sold with packaging materials and handling included in the price. Domestic postage is also included. For destinations outside the U.S.A., buyer pays actual postage.
