This is one of two custom bodied film car images in our collection from the silent era.  Both were shot here in Philadelphia on the Market Street crossing of the Schuylkill River, near 30th Street Station.  One was for a serial with many chapters, so that car had legs, if you will, at least for the length of the series!  The other, shown here, was for the blockbuster THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE.  Directed by the fascinating and multi faceted Rex Ingram and starring Rudolf Valentino and Alice Terry, who'd recently married Ingram.

I have not yet seen the film, but the reviews on IMDB are all emphatically positive.  The minutia of the crossroads of the various characters making and acting in this film, and the themes explored in it in the context of being just out of WWI are the kinds of details that I find really delightful when talking with friends about the various works of art we've chosen to enliven our walls.  Among the cornucopia of trivia is that The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse was the highest-grossing silent movie ever; it earned $9,183,673 - close to $300 million in 2005 dollars.


The other sister print, if you will, is for the aforementioned serial Nan of the North, 1922, starring Ann Little as Nan.  Same car, same location, one year later.  The synopsis on IMDB sounds interesting...

A Canadian Mountie and a young girl team up to prevent an evil couple from finding a fallen meteorite that contains a powerful element called "Tilano."

Hmmmmmmmm... Gotta try me a little Tilano with this overripe Bleu Bresse cheese on a Finnish flat bread, you bet!

BOTH prints show very well together, however you choose to place them, and while they stand on their own, there is the fun of bringing the pair into your life.  NOTE that we've sent copies of both images to IMDB, where they now reside as part of the reference materials specific to each of the films, and available for public view.  Gotta share your toys!

I showed them both to the Curator of Collections at the venerable Athenaeum (look them up!).  He knew so much in an instant about their Philadelphia location and was delightfully blathering faster than I could take notes

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.

Very useful
Color: Black
I’ve been using this room divider to separate my space from my daughter’s, and it has worked out really well. It provides just the right amount of privacy while still keeping the room feeling open and comfortable. The design is simple yet stylish, so it blends nicely with our decor. It’s also lightweight and easy to move when needed, which is a big plus. The material feels durable and well-made, not flimsy at all. Overall, it’s a practical and attractive solution for shared spaces, and I’m very happy with this purchase. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Great Room Divider
Color: Black
This product is a great room divider that decent quality and worth the price tag. The look is sleek and fits seamlessly into any room without complaint. The assembly was easy to follow and the quality is long lasting. Not only that, I need it as my sons share a room and we’re looking for some privacy. The divider is able to extend across a decently large area really divide the room as it has 4 panels. Overall, this is a great product for its cost and if your looking for a room divider that’s not too costly, this is the pick.

Great for creating a workspace
Color: Grey
I needed a room divider that could be easily folded for storing to put behind my chair during my work calls. This works perfectly! Was very easy to put together. Lightweight but sturdy enough that it won’t fall over.

Base part of it
Color: Black
Even though I kept this it’s very uncomfortable because of the way the base works . They are very long at the bottom and it’s hard to open and close

Great room separator
Color: Black
The panels are much longer than we expected! We only needed 3 of the 4 proivided. It's slightly flimsy, but holds together nicely. The screwdriver that came with did not fit the screws, but luckily we had a Phillips head. It's very lightweight. It is definitely a good value for the money.
