Treasures from THE PHILADELPHIA / DELAWARE VALLEY COLLECTION at The Willing Mind. By exclusive arrangement with The Grand Review.

Print size 24 x 18, and consciously formatted to work with a 24 x 18 size store bought frame, or custom framed as you see fit.

So, is it a convertible if ALL cars were convertibles in The Brass Age?

Here are two ladies out for a jaunt in their remarkably handsome automobile at the dawn of modern era. This in itself shouldn't be shocking until you consider what a colossal pain in the buttinski driving was back in The Oughts. That said, if you have the time look up Alice Ramsey who jumped into her 1909 Maxwell with her teenage sister and her husband's two aunts and drove from Manhattan to the West Coast at a time when there were no roads over much of the country, and no one in the car other than 22 year old Alice could drive.

Many of the prints we create have an over the top feel to them and we're good with that, but we also work out some rather subtle prints as well, so long as they're visually strong and carry you into a moment. For those of you who have spent time on East River Drive, now Kelly Drive, you know this stone tunnel and have likely strolled or biked around the edges along the Schuylkill River.

I helped the Atwater-Kent Museum move a number of Delaware Valley specific gems from their collection around their warehouse storage in the early 90s and remember, very fondly, moving a big shield shaped wooden speed limit sign that had originally hung along the River Drive. Limit... 15 miles per hour.

Lastly, what prompted me to pull this from our leaning tower of yet-to-be-restored images and fast tracking it through our process all of a sudden was hearing a news item on NPR about the struggle of women in Saudi Arabia just to be able to drive in a society where that is treated like a sin that must be immediately punished. I mean to sent a copy of this to the Saudi embassy here, and to our ambassador there. Not as a nyaah nyaah (gotta love the English language!) but as a quiet reminder that we've been doing this for well over 100 years and the Earth didn't open up and swallow us, though I suppose the tunnel suggests that MIGHT have happened. 

***UPDATE!!!***

This car is a 1904 Searchmont, made in Philadelphia! Please see the 2nd image which we are adding purely for reference and fun!

A NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.

Every print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps. The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands. That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here. See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”

There is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.

There is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.

Then there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road. I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle! So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.

This dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.

This is a nice product

This is lightweight, non greasy and a gives a great moisturizing highlighting glow. Stays put and definitely prevents any sunburn after hours in the sun. Also easy to remove with a mild cleanser.

Love that I can use this as my only makeup!
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried a lot of sunscreens over the years, and this is one of the few mineral sunscreens that I actually enjoy wearing. The CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 feels much lighter on my skin than most mineral formulas I’ve used. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t feel greasy, and keeps my skin feeling hydrated even when I’m outside in the summer heat. One of my favorite things about it is the tint. It blends in nicely and gives my skin a natural, healthy appearance instead of leaving a white cast. It also provides a surprisingly decent amount of coverage for a sunscreen, helping to even out my skin tone without looking like I’m wearing makeup. I also like that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling heavy or suffocated throughout the day. It wears comfortably whether I’m gardening, at the pool, or just spending time outdoors with my family. The ingredients are gentle, and I haven’t had any issues with irritation. If you’re looking for a lightweight mineral sunscreen that provides good sun protection, a natural-looking tint, and comfortable everyday wear, I would definitely recommend giving this one a try.

Exceptionally nice and light for older skin (with a couple of caveats)
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
At 75, foundation can be a real challenge, too heavy and it settles into fine lines, looking caked on, and it will make you look way older than you are! I've always leaned toward a natural finish anyway, so when I discovered this tinted moisturizer at such a great price I was super happy! For the most part, it delivers. It has a noticeable luminous finish that reads as "shiny" on my skin, and it won't do much to conceal age spots (though honestly, I'm fully aware, that's not what a tinted moisturizer is designed for.) A dab of concealer handles my brown spots and for the shine, a light dusting of mineral powder does the trick. The SPF is of course, a big bonus. If you're an active outdoors person who wants effortless, natural-looking light coverage without the weight of a foundation, this is it.

Hydrating Tinted Mineral Sunscreen with Great Coverage
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really loved this tinted mineral sunscreen. Besides providing excellent sun protection, it gives the skin a natural and even tone that looks beautiful. The texture is lightweight, hydrating, and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. It also helps cover small imperfections without looking cakey or artificial. Perfect for everyday use to keep the skin protected and moisturized.

Great product!
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Really wish I had found this sooner. We spend a lot of time outdoors for baseball and this is perfect for the hot summers. I put this on with a little blush and it looks better than my foundation and protects my skin. Isn’t greasy like regular sunscreen. Skin isn’t dry after wearing either.
