The collection
Moments, people, and places.
Great Moments
A flight of twelve seconds. A spike driven in the Utah desert. A statue raised in a Paris courtyard, and a boot on the Moon. The days themselves, at the size of a wall.
6 pieces
Presidents
Every president from George Washington through the current term, with the official portrait or photograph. The events and the words sit beside them.
57 pieces
Astronauts
Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and the astronauts who followed them into orbit. NASA photographs, public domain, printed no larger than the negative allows.
55 pieces
Great Speeches
The words, set beside the person who spoke them. No paraphrase. The sentence is the one they gave.
13 pieces
Famous Americans
The people who moved the country by what they built, flew, wrote, and refused. The portraits are here, each one stopped at the size the photograph can bear.
12 pieces
Your City
Fort Lauderdale, where these frames are made, is the first city in the series. Palm Beach, Miami, St. Augustine, Key West, and the old main streets are beside it.
12 pieces
Firsts
Earth from the Moon. A bootprint. A bridge, a voice, a vote. The first time a thing was done, printed no larger than the photograph allows.
17 pieces
Turning Points
Omaha Beach, the night before, the kiss when the war ended, and the women who built the arsenal. Five photographs, tagged across the collections.
5 pieces
Wall murals
Peel-and-stick murals of the same moments, with a matte laminate. Four by six feet is $329. Eight by ten is $1,099, when the photograph is sharp enough. A custom wall is $12–$15 a square foot, and never less than $199.
8 pieces
Garage and Speed
Barney Oldfield, Tommy Milton, and a Fourth of July motorcycle patrol. The machines that made speed a public spectacle, printed no larger than the photograph allows.
3 pieces
Ballpark Legends
Ruth in his first Yankee year, Honus Wagner at short, and opening day at the stadium they built for the home-run hitter. Baseball, before the floodlights took over.
3 pieces
Hometown, Then
New York, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, and San Francisco, as the cameras of their own decades saw them. The same streets, stopped at the size the negative can hold.
22 pieces
New York
Manhattan from the air, the Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center in 1933, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Coney Island lit like a city of its own.
14 pieces
Miami
South Beach art deco and the skyline across Biscayne Bay. Miami as a resort city, before the towers doubled.
2 pieces
Fort Lauderdale
Andrews Avenue in 1926, and the city at dusk. Fort Lauderdale is first because the frames are made here.
2 pieces
Las Vegas
Fremont Street when the signs were the skyline, and Hoover Dam from the air. The desert city and the river that made it possible.
2 pieces
San Francisco
Navy flying boats and carriers passing the Golden Gate while the bridge was still going up. The city, seen from the water.
2 pieces
America's Parks
Watkins in Yosemite, Old Faithful, Adams’s Tetons, and the faces at Rushmore. Public land, and the photographs that argued for keeping it.
5 pieces
Jazz Age
Prohibition agents emptying a barrel into a New York sewer, then Holiday at the Downbeat and Monk at Minton’s. The night the law tried to close, and the music that outlasted it.
3 pieces
To the Moon
Earthrise, the bootprint, the flag, the last man on the Moon, and the twelve who walked. NASA photographs, public domain, sized to the file.
20 pieces
Wings
Kitty Hawk, the Fort Myer trials, Lindbergh and the Spirit, Yeager’s X-1, the Blackbird, and the Tuskegee Airmen. Flight, from the first powered hop to the edge of the sky.
7 pieces
Surf and Shore
Duke Kahanamoku with the board that carried the sport off Waikiki, and Atlantic City’s boardwalk in 1905. The shore, when a day there was still an occasion.
2 pieces
Stories You Didn't Know
Houdini in the Charles, Keaton on the cowcatcher, Jack Johnson with the title, Jim Thorpe in Stockholm, and Luna Park’s quarter-million bulbs. The story is longer than the famous frame.
5 pieces
Leisure & Resort
Toni Frissell’s color, Gottscho’s Fontainebleau, and a Puerto Rico beach from the Documerica file. Leisure, printed no larger than the negative allows. Magazine assignments are left out.
15 pieces
Candid & Wit
A dog put off a Greyhound, a stenographer in a shower, a cat on a horse. Harris & Ewing, the FSA, and Bain, in black and white, with the story on the back.
23 pieces
Most Collected
The photographs that have been chosen most often from this shop. The same prices, the same frames, the story still on the back.
35 pieces
New Arrivals
The newest prints: Toni Frissell and the resort coast, and the candid photographs that found the joke instead of posing it.
38 pieces
Lobby Size
Prints sharp enough for a 30 × 45 or larger. Made for a lobby, a stair, or the long wall in a dining room.
90 pieces
Just West, the western line: show posters, cowboys, desert light, Native nations, and homesteaders.
