Vintage prints of children from Quirky PrintsThose beautifully composed vintage prints of children that we happen to come across in magazines and books never fail to delight. With their huge range of expressions, comical or endearing poses and sheer ‘cute factor’, these captivating photographs of children appeal to just about everyone. No matter that we are not related to the children pictured, or do not even know who they are! These beguiling old photographs of children from years gone by, connect us to the past in the nicest of ways. The team at Quirky Prints recognised our appreciation of these charming old photographs from years gone by. They therefore set about tracking down a collection of them, with the aim of creating a beautiful archive of old black and white, colour and sepia images for their customers. Their search took them to hundreds of antique shops, collectors’ fairs, vintage photograph dealers and specialists around the UK. The resulting collection is thousands of hand-picked vintage photographs, on all manner of topics, including landscapes, people, shops, far-flung civilizations and transport from years ago. Among the numerous old black and white photographs that were collected, were some sweet and endearing vintage prints of children. Within a category dedicated to THE CHILD on their website, Quirky Prints offers a selection of these unique vintage photographs. There are children at play, in their ‘Sunday Best’, with their beloved pets, in their gardens and their homes, and all are captured in evocative sepia, hand coloured or black and white photographic detail. These old, forgotten, but delightful vintage photographs, make stunning framed pictures. They become unique fine art prints, which can be hung in our homes, or bought as an original and unique gift idea for friends. They really are an original interior design idea to make a house proud. These original vintage prints of children are all reproduced on finest grade, heavyweight art paper, to preserve all the fine detail and quality of the image. These Giclee prints 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 - from Agriculture to World War II – with literally 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 prints of children on the Quirky Prints website, we are able to enjoy these beautiful and innocent images of childhood from years gone by. Our favourite quote. "The Past is a foreign country, they do things differently there." From to L. P. Hartley's novel "The Go-Between"See our vintage prints of children in the Quirky Prints Online Art Gallery |
