Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused.  Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image.  By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken.
You have your choice of size and finish for the photo.   Note that
the size you choose may require cropping
and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown.  If preferred
a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print
.  If not requested when placing your order your image may be cropped.  If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in.

Abraham Lincoln - 1860
"Now if you should hear anyone saying that Lincoln don't want to go to Congress, I wish you would tell him he is mistaken.
The truth is, I would very much like to go."
Lincoln
In 1847, Lincoln ran as the Whig candidate for US House of Representatives.
His Democratic opponent was Peter Cartwright, a Methodist Preacher.
Knowing that he would need to face his opponent, Lincoln attended one of Cartwright's Bible meetings.
After giving a hell-raising sermon, Cartwright turned to his congregation saying,
"All who desire ... to give their hearts to God and go to heaven will stand."
Almost everyone in the room stood.
"All who do not wish to go to hell will stand",
cried Cartwright.
The rest of the congregation stood - everyone, that is except Abraham.
Cartwright looked at him.
"May I inquire of you Mr. Lincoln, where are you going?"
"If it's all the same to you, I am going to Congress",
drawled Lincoln.
The congregation burst into laughter.
Cartwright sputtered with anger.
And weeks later, Lincoln was elected by a margin of more than 1,500 votes.
