The prints are all over 30 years old and have been in the storage of the newspapers for decades. When you buy from us you help support the project or digitize and save these photos that might otherwise be lost forever.Īll the original vintage images are sold without watermarks. A unique chance to own a real piece of history. We help preserve and digitize old press archives, by allowing the public to buy the original prints for the first time. The IMS vintage photos project is unique in Europe. The value of original Press Photos prints has been steadily increasing in value and is expected to to continue doing so. Press photos have been available to the public for just a few years, and similar to baseball cards, they have attracted investors and collectors. Few were preserved and are nowadays carefully stored in our archives. Nowadays, their number is decimated - many were destroyed by time, use, or natural disasters. In the past, the photos were often parts of a series or were mass-produced by the archives. Since the photos are old press photographs they may have scratches, lines, or other wears of time, which just underlines the authenticity and age of the photos.
SEE the BACKSIDE OF the PHOTO - many times the image for sale will present stamps, dates, and other publication details - these marks attest to and increase the value of the press photos. These prints have never been accessible to the public before.
We get our prints directly from the press archives where they have been stored for up to a hundred years. All these old photos have a story to tell and come from reliable sources. These items are true artifacts and collectibles, a real unique piece of history. What you will buy from us has a true historical value and authenticity. All the prints are at least 30 years old and up to 100 years old.
