Public Library in Chicago

Take a journey back in time with this vintage photograph of Chicago's Public Library. Created over a century ago in 1900, this photo presents the grand stone building with passersby visible in the foreground, some just blurs of motion. 

Like most old photographs, the original dry plate negative this image was made with had accumulated its fair share of dust and damage. Our skilled team has digitally restored this image, breathing new life into it after a century of aging. Correcting the damage of age allows us to offer reproduction prints that are true to the original appearance of the photograph. 

Unlike many others out there, our prints are fully archival, and made with museum-quality materials. The materials we use are all rated to last over 100 years without fading, ensuring your prints will last a lifetime and beyond.
