Vintage glamour photography from Quirky PrintsThe vintage glamour photography from the early 20th century is a world apart from the glamour photography we are more familiar with today – and many would say – are all the better for being so! Unapologetically glamorous and sexy images were as popular in the early 1900’s as they are now. However, these old photographs can be hard to find unless you visit specialist collectors or dealers. Recognising the particular interest that many of us have in such vintage images, Quirky Prints produced a category on its website dedicated to GLAMOUR and set about tracking down a collection of these glamorous images. Looking for vintage glamour meant the Quirky Prints team visited hundreds of antique shops, collectors' fairs, vintage photograph dealers and specialists around the UK. There, after much hunting, they found sepia and old black and white photographs from times long past, including the sought-after vintage glamour photography. All the old photographs were put together to form an entertaining and charming archive of vintage images for Quirky Prints customers. The resulting collection contains of literally thousands of hand-picked vintage photographs, on all manner of subjects including landscapes, people, shops and transport from years ago. Within the GLAMOUR category on their website, Quirky Prints offers a selection of this unique vintage glamour photography. Women pose in period swimwear, daringly revealing their thighs! These old, forgotten, but delightful black and white vintage photographs, make stunning framed pictures. They each become unique artworks, which can be hung in our homes or bought as unique artistic and unusual present for friends. It does not matter we know nothing of the people or places in these old photographs. They are minutes frozen in time, wonderful old pictures with their own unique, rare story to tell. 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. This original, vintage glamour photography is reproduced on finest quality, 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 elegance of home decor. For anyone uninspired and tired with exactly 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 select 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 and deterioration, but preserve the originality of the image. Others have been painstakingly hand coloured or had their original colours renewed. The result is a remarkable visual time capsule of years gone by. Within the collection of vintage glamour photography on the Quirky Prints website, we are able to feel for ourselves, just how beautifully sexiness and glamour was portrayed all those years ago! |
