Vintage Gardening photographic prints From Quirky PrintsGardening has become one of our most popular past times and vintage gardening photographic prints, shows that it was as popular with generations before us, as it is with us today. We often spot intriguing images in books and magazines of proud gardeners posing beside their prize blooms and giant sized vegetables. Clearly the passion for capturing the moment of gardening perfection was as strong with the gardeners of the early 20th century, as it is today. When the team at Quirky Prints set about researching and finding vintage photographs for their new website, their hunt for old images took them to hundreds of antique shops, collectors’ fairs, vintage photograph dealers and specialists around the country. The resulting collection is thousands of handpicked vintage photographs, on all manner of topics, including landscapes, people, shops, far-flung civilizations and transport from years ago. And among the many old black and white photographs that were collected, were some captivating vintage gardening photographic prints from times long past. Within the dedicated GARDENING category on their website, Quirky Prints offers a selection of these unique vintage photographs. Proud growers stand beside their prize chrysanthemums, displays of gleaming vegetables are presented in village halls and teams of gardeners pose in their masters’ gardens. All are captured in evocative sepia or black and white photographic detail. These examples of old, forgotten, but delightful vintage gardening photographic prints, make stunning framed pictures. They become unique artworks, which can be hung in our homes, or bought as original and inventive gift for friends. No matter that we know nothing of the people or places in these old photographs. They are moments frozen in time. Pictures that tell their own story. And they have as much meaning and resonance with us today, as they had for those involved in creating the vintage photograph all those years ago. The original vintage photographs are all reproduced using the Giclee method on finest grade, heavyweight art paper, to preserve all the fine detail and quality of the image. They are then enlarged and presented in contemporary metal frames, which have been carefully chosen both to enhance the images and to complement any style of home decor. For anyone who is completely uninspired and bored with the same prints offered for sale in the high street – those thousands of similar pictures that appear in thousands of homes across the UK - Quirky Prints offers something new, some different. Something Quirky in fact! There are thirty-two other categories to choose from on the Quirky Prints website, which has thousands of images taken from original vintage photographs. Each of the old black and white photographs has been carefully restored to remove any damage, but preserve the originality of the image. Others have been painstakingly hand coloured or had their original colours restored. The result is a remarkable visual time capsule of years gone by. Within the collection of vintage gardening photographic prints on the Quirky Prints website, we can share the proud achievements of those green-fingered gardeners, from years gone by. |
