"Nantucket Meanderings" | 1890-1900 Metal Print

We are passionately committed to preserving, and sharing, New England's amazing images and historic narratives. This commitment has been an active passion for decades and spans across all manner of regional artifacts. One area of this focus has been the preservation, cleaning (carefully) and digitization of historic glass negatives.

In many ways we saw these wonderful and cultural captures as photographic orphans - disconnected from their original printed creation- often boxed in stacks and thrust into an inglorious attic or barn archive. The thrill is finding unique, interesting compositions that reflect the subtle, point in time activity, now lost or forgotten, of a bygone era.

Each year we will create a series of beautiful items based on a select set of negatives from NESB's archive. We titled this image "Nantucket Meanderings" for its gorgeous Wyeth-like painterly style - serene, spacious and rich in textures - this is amongst our personal collection favorites.

The watermark shown is removed for production and will not be on your final print. Each plate is marked with an embossed identifier for the NESB negative collection.

We chose to make these 8"x 8" prints on HD Chromaluxe® Metal that use a dye-sublimation process that fuses the vintage image to the surface of a rigid aluminum panel. These provide a modern look when decorating your home or office.
