Before and after details from the restoration of
Samuel Ashberry Williams, circa 1840.
Each restoration is a custom order. We consult with clients about what might constitute a feasable and desirable restoration. For example, the restoration shown above of Samuel Williams required sharpening and tonal changes across the entire image, while some large areas of background and clothing were left unretouched to preserve the authenticity and character of the aged image. Some extreme damage to the background was repaired where it was a distraction or worked against the overall composition of the restored painting. This paper-glued-on-canvas painting was literally falling off its backing and would soon have been lost forever.
Clients are provided with archival inkjet prints (gicleés), slides, or negatives. Your digital files are permanently archieved at Graphiconsultants so that you may order additional reproductions in the future. Portraits may require an additional photography or scanning fee. Additional portaits may be purchased at any time following the PRICE CHART.
We take pride in providing clients with the highest possible quality of restoration of their valuable images. While the originals and prints always have a limited lifetime, digital files may be copied and reproduced ad infinitum, existing unchanged for as long as someone cares to store them.
