NOW IN TWO NEW VERSIONS! What a perfect image to reflect a bygone era in London! You don't see a lot of little Nash Metropolitans tooling around there anymore... This will be printed for you from the original negative...after that, where you going to put it? Home or office or something in between, it is an interesting image that will sure attract attention. You get a 10 x 10 print on finest photographic paper for the above price, but if you want it smaller or larger (I am certain it will print beautifully at 24" square or more!), then convo me and we can make it happen. Similarly, if you want it matted, we can talk about that as well. Once again, this item can't be bought anywhere else. I own the negative and I alone have the rights. This is not a reprint from something that millions of people have.
