Treasures from THE AUTOMOTIVE COLLECTION at Lost Highways Archive & Research Library. By exclusive arrangement with The Grand Review. Print size 18 x 24, and consciously formatted to work with a standard size store bought frame, or custom framed as you see fit. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ When I first saw this I assumed it was Brit, The cut of his suit and hair, the sensibly fashionable oxfords, the signs in the background which I didn't look at closely and thought were British beer ads. Well, it ain't! American, from Pasadena, mid 1930s. This is a university prof who figured he'd build his own damned car, and he crafted a pretty boss rig. Several different people have told me this car still exists and is now in the collection of Jay Leno. Not so far out, but I haven't seen proof of the tale yet. Leno or not, I'd love to climb into this car and crank it up to 50, 55, hell even 60 miles per hour! Having ridden in and on some pretty wild vehicles in my time, I just have a feeling this utterly boss looking but clearly homebuilt thing would start shimmyin' and shiverin' once you really opened it up. I remember riding in a totally beat up vintage Vette that SHOULD NOT have been on the road when I was a teen, the driver announcing we were at 107 mph and me practically crying as the whole car felt like it was shaking apart. The good old days are only good if you lived long enough to tell about them! ____________________________________________________________________________________________ SHIPPING All prints are shipped in a sturdy mailing tube for $8, which covers postage, tube and S & H.

Please contact us for details. A note on the quality of the graphic craftsmanship that goes into these 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 meticulous digital restoration from the original before we format it to become a large scale decorative art print. That includes repairing damage present in the originals, but allows us to make ongoing aesthetic choices as to what imperfections to clean up and which ones to consciously leave in place, and where and how to reconsider and best present the restored image in a surround that works with a standard frame but NEVER compromises the integrity of the original. This dedication to giving new life to otherwise permanently obscure images and doing so in a way that brings us here at The Grand Review an ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results, 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.
Foto storiche di Roma - Piazza Risorgimento. Il più vecchio chiosco del rione Prati, oggi ancora esistente pur se sostituito da una struttura moderna. Anno: 1930 ca
Bugatti Royale 1930. Only six of these monstrous vehicles were ever built. All six still exist. They were intended to be delivered to royalty, but none ever was.
Iconic art deco design by Demeyere Belgium, from the 1930s, with original patina. It is quite rare in brass, usually it's in stainless steel. This pot is made by Demeyere in Belgium, a company that still exists today and is known for their high quality kitchen items. In very good vintage condition, as depicted. Very minor dents and signs of use. Please note that the top of the handle is pressed in. I am pretty sure this much have happened when someone was carrying a full coffee pot around, because that is where your thumb is. Dimensions: 24 x 27 x 13.5 cm / 9.5 x 10.5 x 5.25 in
This historic boathouse was constructed using salvaged lumber from burned barns.
Volkswagen Beetles have skittered across roads since the 1930's - but in the 1970's, a company transformed these iconic cars into adorable little campers. They sold these Super Buggers for $6,000 then - and a few of the unusual RV hybrids still exist today.
Great Houses of New York, 1880–1930 presents the stories of the most elegant houses built in New York. With over 300 archival photographs and floor plans and a decade of research, Michael Kathrens profiles New York houses known only for their magisterial presence on the city’s most elegant boulevards, some of which still exist today, including the houses of Otto Kahn (Convent of the Sacred Heart), Andrew Carnegie (Cooper Hewitt Design Museum), James B. Duke (NYU Institute of Fine Art), and Morton F. Plant (Cartier), and Willard D. Straight (home of the banker Bruce Kovner). In Great Houses of New York, lavish rooms are brought to life again—polished black and white columns reflect in the marble floor of a grand entryway, Dutch master paintings line damask walls in a second floor reception room, a crystal chandelier softly lights a dining room whose boiserie glows with paintings by Boucher—evoking the elegant private life that has become a trademark of the wealthy New Yorker.
The vast majority of feature-length silent movies made in the U.S. over the past 100 years have been lost due to decay and neglect, according to a new study that will horrify cinema lovers.
Before selfie sticks, and before cell phones, there still was life! The agitations of great need for making self portraits has existed no doubt before this semi-delusional time, except of course there wasn't immediate and total access to the possibility of addressing the somewhat narco-curiosity to self aware recording. Nowadays you can have your own broadcasting service all about yourself all of the time and share it to yourself or to anyone else who can find your conceptual conceit--in the past, not so much so. The antiquarian notation of the idea of the selfie finds itself in the invention of the photo booth. It is perhaps the first true invention that could address this notion of photographic self-allegiance, except that you can't fit it into your pocket like a cell/sel(f) phone because you fit inside of it. But it certainly was the only way that you could halfway address an instant need for making a photo of yourself, and do so without undue muss or fuss, and to be able to do it on your own. The photo booth was the early version of radical expression of photographic self-interpretation made possible by a hands-free invention. The results of the photo booth (around since about 1890 but not fabulously well accepted and ubiquitous until Mr. Anaotl Josepho with his Photomata in 1925) can be charming, and revealing, and be all that you wished it to be, or not.

Welcome to Bongoland, the abandoned amusement park in Florida from the 1930s. Bring the whole family and check out this weird and wonderful place.
A silver-plated sauce boat from the Belgian house Wiskemann, known for its large collection of silver-plated tableware for hotels, restaurants, passenger boats, luxury railways, officers' mess, etc. This sauce boat is approximately 100 years old, dates from the 1920s or 1930s. . The sauce boat served in the hotel or restaurant 'Au Chateaubriand' in Liège. This establishment no longer exists, and unfortunately I can't find anything about it anymore. There is still a Residence Chateaubriand at Boulevard d'Avroy 34 in Liège. The hotel may have been there. The sauce boat is marked with the Wiskemann mark, the number 4 (referring to the contents), production number 594754 and the number 22, which means the number of grams of silver used on this item. The bowl has been used, but is in good condition (see the photos). Dimensions: length 22 cm, width 11.5 cm. height at the spout 8 cm. at the ear 11 cm.
