Treasures from THE PHILADELPHIA / DELAWARE VALLEY COLLECTION at The Willing Mind. By exclusive arrangement with The Grand Review.

Print size 24 x 18, and consciously formatted to work with a 24 x 18 size store bought frame, or custom framed as you see fit.

So, is it a convertible if ALL cars were convertibles in The Brass Age?

Here are two ladies out for a jaunt in their remarkably handsome automobile at the dawn of modern era. This in itself shouldn't be shocking until you consider what a colossal pain in the buttinski driving was back in The Oughts. That said, if you have the time look up Alice Ramsey who jumped into her 1909 Maxwell with her teenage sister and her husband's two aunts and drove from Manhattan to the West Coast at a time when there were no roads over much of the country, and no one in the car other than 22 year old Alice could drive.

Many of the prints we create have an over the top feel to them and we're good with that, but we also work out some rather subtle prints as well, so long as they're visually strong and carry you into a moment. For those of you who have spent time on East River Drive, now Kelly Drive, you know this stone tunnel and have likely strolled or biked around the edges along the Schuylkill River.

I helped the Atwater-Kent Museum move a number of Delaware Valley specific gems from their collection around their warehouse storage in the early 90s and remember, very fondly, moving a big shield shaped wooden speed limit sign that had originally hung along the River Drive. Limit... 15 miles per hour.

Lastly, what prompted me to pull this from our leaning tower of yet-to-be-restored images and fast tracking it through our process all of a sudden was hearing a news item on NPR about the struggle of women in Saudi Arabia just to be able to drive in a society where that is treated like a sin that must be immediately punished. I mean to sent a copy of this to the Saudi embassy here, and to our ambassador there. Not as a nyaah nyaah (gotta love the English language!) but as a quiet reminder that we've been doing this for well over 100 years and the Earth didn't open up and swallow us, though I suppose the tunnel suggests that MIGHT have happened. 

***UPDATE!!!***

This car is a 1904 Searchmont, made in Philadelphia! Please see the 2nd image which we are adding purely for reference and fun!

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.

Perfect Size and Highly Practical
Color: Black
This sink organizer with sponge and brush holder is the size I was looking for. The non-slip, drain-free base keeps everything dry and in place. Having my sponges and brushes within easy reach makes the sink area much more organized, and it fits perfectly without taking up too much space I like the quality. It has genuinely made my kitchen feel tidier and more efficient.

Very good quality
Color: Black
It is easy to assemble and works great with my soap, sponge and scrub brush. And it stands stable on the counter beside the faucet. I think the materials used are of good quality and should last a long time.

Works Good!
Color: Grey
I was concerned it was going to be too small, especially since the tall portion design doesn't allow you to hang on the ourside....But I have a very nice glass container of dish detergent in it, a bottle of hand soap, and the tall container for taller brushes, straw cleaners, etc. It fits everything pretty well. Wouldn't be able to add a sponge to it, but I have a holder with suction cups on the inside of my sink for the sponge and keeps it out of sight, so it works for me. But if you have a stuff at your sink, it probably wouldn't. Though if you like the design (which is very nice), you could always use two, one on each side of the faucet. I also returned one because even though the extra container could hang on the outside, it was short enough and everything kept falling out of it. This taller one works much better...but again, it too is somewhat limited on size and storage. I much prefer everything organized and in its place, and this provides that.

Great little sink organizer!
Color: Black
This is a lovely addition to my kitchen sink to handle all of my dishwashing tools. And I really like the DE base to catch all the drips and water drainage. The separator in the middle is moveable so you can determine how big or small you want the partitions. It was packaged very nicely and came with stick on feet to protect your countertops or sink edge. Highly recommend if you were looking for something this functional.
