Photographs are collected for different reasons. You may have a special interest in why you search for images.
It may be photos from a certain photographer or a specific period in time.
You can also collect photographs for art’s sake and, whatever the reason is, when you buy a photograph from us you don´t just buy a picture, you buy an object of history!
Our photos are not reprints, they are all archive original photographs coming from newspaper archives around Europe, and some of the most prestigious ones!
Regarding sustainability and environment collecting vintage press photos really makes sense! These are old photographs, original prints and as such valueable to preserve and love for the future.
Many press photos have been destroyed during the years: archives have been thrashed, burned, damaged by water, fire or dirt - the remaining photos naturally has a value, historical, emotional and commercial, and can be enjoyed and collected without adding anything damaging for nature.
In the world we live in today it makes more sense than ever to collect vintage photographs. It is eco -friendly and in a way also related to the Slow movement. Eco friendly because you take care of something already existing, something that doesn´t have to be done over again, not having to be re-produced. It´s also about embracing and appreciating history, stopping time for a while and reflect on something now gone that belonged to the very world we still live in here and now. It can give you a sense of perspective.
