Restored and improved image

Park Theatre,
Indianapolis, Indiana
1902

We offer this sharp old photo in plenty of sizes. We restored and improved the image that were scanned in very high-resolution from the original large-format glass negative. Then we made archival prints that will last for years. Be sure to see our other photos of Indianapolis, and other locations in Indiana as well. Check out all our items!

You will receive an 8-inch by 10-inch (8x10) print that will ship the next business day after you pay. This improved print was made new, in a photo lab. We took great care to preserve the sharpness and old look while removing scratches, spots, and other damage that would make it less viewable. We repaired imperfections and improved tonal values.

Why buy this photo:  This print would be a good conversation starter in a restaurant, waiting room, lobby, office, library, or museum in Indianapolis.

The print can be resold in a store (see "Wholesale lots" below). Our photos can be used in school reports, presentations, and displays.

Tone:  This print has a sepia tone as shown. 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. This prints is on acid-free paper, but it looks old. Black and white is available, listed separately. Click "Ask a question" or "Contact seller" to ask how to purchase black and white prints.

Finish:  This print has a luster finish that reduces glare. Glossy is available, listed separately. Click "Ask a question" or "Contact seller" to ask how to purchase glossy finish.

Border:  This print has minimum borders. 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 typical display devices that hide 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 ship 8x10 prints flat with a stiff board to prevent folding, in a sturdy envelope.

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.
