Once upon a time...
Members of the Swampscott, MA Fire Department and city officials gather to welcome the town's first motorized fire truck. From a glass plate negative ca. 1911.


This print is created by scanning the original glass plate, painstakingly retouching the electronic image and then printing using state-of-the-art digital archival technology (giclée). Poster prints are produced on a coated matte paper. Semigloss prints are produced on an archival premium satin paper. Watercolor prints are printed on a heavy smooth watercolor paper. Semigloss and watercolor prints are museum-quality archival. With proper framing your print will look just as good 100 years from now as it does the day you receive it. We print using a 12-ink photo printer that achieves resolutions of 2400 dpi.

All sizes shown are image size. Your print will also have a minimum of 1/2" border on all sides and will therefore be at least 1" larger in both dimensions.

All prints shipped rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube or box. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not happy with your print when you receive it, return it undamaged for a no-hassle full refund.

Prints are available in larger sizes and printed on a variety of media including canvas. Please inquire with specifics.

NOTE: Your print will not have the Digital Imaging watermark shown in sample.
