1905 vintage print; view of;
BRIDE AND GROOM DEPARTING ON HORSE, SEVILLE, SPAIN
Offered for sale is this great authentic original 1905 vintage photographic (black and white) picture-print (with text-identification right below the image), of:
A great old look at a vintage scene, of after the Marriage, the Bride and Groom, departing for their Honeymoon on Horse, Seville, Spain, (darn no Limo, haha), as it looked around 1905, or prior - a nice piece of Swedish Culture/History.
MOUNTING PROCESS:
It has been neatly and carefully, permanently mounted using high-quality sepia-tone, slightly-textured, light-weight (Acid-Free/Archival) card backing-paper (sample shown in my last image at the bottom), and Acid-Free Adhesive, (which preserves the print, and makes it sturdy and protects it from bending and/or creasing, and makes it convenient for matting and/or framing, if the buyer chooses to do so).
It would look great matted and/or framed or placed in a collector's/historian's scrapbook (as a complimentary piece that might 'fit' nicely with a related locality or theme collection).
The whole print-sheet measures approx. (7" x 9") inches (edge-to-edge), and the image alone is about (5.5" x 6.5") inches.
[It has some blank border-spacing as shown, so that it can be matted first, to fit a specific size frame, without loosing any of the image content, if one wishes to do so].
SOURCE:
This is an original quality book-plate half-tone print, produced in 1905 from original Stereographs, and which may possibly be the only publication these images appeared and then lost in-time; ('Half-Tone' being a quality type of printing process used in those days, which produced crisp clear photo images on paper, and looked very close to a real-photo - It is Not a Post-Card or a "Real-Photo", (just to be clear), taken and carefully extracted directly from a rare and scarce old portfolio/volume of {primitive and unusual Transportation modes}, scenes and views from around the world in the early 1900's, and prior.
It was printed on thick quality semi-glossy paper in 1905, therefore this actual print the buyer will receive, is about 104-years-old (and Not a recent reprint, copy or any type of reproduction).
DOCUMENTATION:
Also; Printing and publishing documentation will be sent with the print for authentication and proof of age.
CONDITION/GRADING:
Some mild age-toning to the print surface: [Specific Flaws of This Print; A few small mild creases, mostly on white border and a few light, mild rub/scuffs/smudges, and faint foxing on parts of border-edges, hardly noticeable, and not affecting image].
It is Graded in overall Fine Condition, with minimal noticeable flaws, other than those mentioned in 'Specifics' above, (also any other flaws that may appear, if any, and not otherwise mentioned were probably on the original photograph prior to printing).
SHIPPING INFO:
It will be shipped safely and securely in clear Plastic sheet-protector (with documentation placed in the back), with thick stiff cardboard backing to protect from any damage. Also, we ship withing one business days of receipt of payment via Paypal or other arrangements made.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
This would make a great collectible and/or decorative print/item for a business, an office or any room with a historic {Spanish} theme or a great meaningful gift for someone with historic/family ties and/or personal interest to that locality, or subject itself.
FOOTNOTE:
Please Note: Any blotchiness, color-bleeding/discoloration and/or lines/spots that may be showing on the images (that were not mentioned, as imperfections or flaws in the Condition section), are scanner-created imperfections and from background, and NOT on the original, which looks even better than my scans can demonstrate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CLOSE-UP IMAGES:
Also, see the additional close-up image-scans I have provided below to fully appreciate the fine detail quality and clarity in the print. I scanned the images with a Low-Resolution setting, so they don't take long for the viewer to open, so the actual original looks even better, and I think the buyer will be pleased upon receiving the print.
