The Grand Review is a remarkable collection of delightful yet obscure historic imagery from private and public collections throughout the Delaware Valley and the Mid Atlantic. Rediscovered, then rethought and reworked at our studio on the edges of Philadelphia, we present these carefully chosen images back to the public as handsomely crafted large format prints. In this way we give fresh life to l
ong forgotten or simply inaccessible works while serving as both an entryway and revenue stream for the libraries, museums and important private collections we partner with. Our studio is located in a delightful 1890s carriage house, finished with a dark cinnamon wood interior most likely in the 1930s, in the fascinating Overbrook Farms neighborhood of Philadelphia. Overbrook Farms was the first of the consciously crafted late 19th century communities along what would become known as the Pennsylvania Railroad's Main Line, right where the Lincoln Highway, Lancaster Pike and old Route 1 all come together, and justifiably lauded as a treasure trove of colossal architectural gems of the era. Access to the studio is by appointment, but please let that be understood as an invitation rather than envisioning a spiked iron gate with gun ports. We are regularly visited by educators, scholars, professors with select students in tow, archivists and heads of collections from libraries and museums around the Mid Atlantic, as well fans of our work who love an amazing historic print and the story that goes with... well told! Yes, an ever growing portion of our work is available on line and please feel free to shop there with confidence, but if circumstances and opportunity allow, there is that special experience of seeing the space where we create our prints, and getting to see and understand our process first hand.
