To see our full collection of
Civil War Photos,

The civil war reproduction photos available
through our website represent the latest in digital imaging and print
technology. It is difficult to imagine, until you have seen it
yourself, the incredible depth and detail embedded in these images.
Most of our civil war reproduction photo image files begin with 500 dpi
(dots per inch) resolution, meaning they can be greatly enlarged
without any significant compromise in image quality. We have
blown up some images as large as 48" high x 60" wide, with
very little sacrifice in quality. These large civil war
reproduction photos can be hung on your wall like a mural, as a
tantalizing invitation for your home guests to step inside a paper-thin
gateway to the past!
These civil war reproduction photo prints can, of course, also be made available to you in more modest sizes
befitting casual display in your home or office. The quality of
such prints are so fine that you will literally not be able to
distinguish them from an actual photograph without the assistance of a
high-powered magnification device. It will be as though you are
standing shoulder to shoulder with the dazzled viewers in New York, who
in 1863 were the first to witness Mathew Brady's most stunning and
powerful civil war photographs, the "Dead of Antietam." This
close brush with history will be experienced by everyone who turns to
face one of these civil war reproduction photos upon your wall, hanging
like a window to the past--a window that is open, whether delivering
a comforting breeze or a subtle chill.
The extra-ordinary quality of our civil war reproduction photos takes you
far beyond the ordinary effects of a painting or a low-quality
historical print. You will be amazed as the detail of these early
daguerreotypes unfold before your eyes. What initially appears to
be only a primitive rendering of a lost age, upon further examination
reveals itself to be a more deeply captured moment than expected, with
certain fragile details still intact, frozen in time. If you look
closely, you can read the embossed letters on the cast-iron oven, see
the reflective pools of water between the cracks in the ground, make
out the creases in the men's clothing.

Your eyes wander across this civil war scene with their new-found focus, and you see the
kettles and the pots and pans tendered under the thoughtful care of the
army's cook. You can even discern a ladle hanging from the shelf just over
his shoulder. This is not a posed scene, and the figures within
it are not actors or civil war reenactment enthusiasts: they are the
real thing. Just like every human being that has ever lived, they
are simply existing within the conditions of the only life they have
ever known, and most likely, entirely oblivious to the significance
others would someday attach to their every blurred movement and silent thought.

The insatiable curiosity these civil war reproduction photos will ignite, as you begin
to appreciate their crispness and detail, will probe more deeply into the
photograph than the figures or scenes that are intentionally being
captured on film. Your nosy nature will come to life as you look,
not just at the people in the room, but at the little curiosities in
the cabinets behind them. Could that oval platter have been
passed down to you by your grandmother? Did you perhaps see
a crystal decanter just like that one at your local antique store?
Questions will multiply endlessly the deeper you gaze into these
photographs, preserved over so many years in the care of so many hands.
Mathew Brady's objective in life was to bring hidden things, such as the horrors of war, directly before the
eyes from which they had been hidden. His aim is perhaps no less
relevant today. As we face a future that may be more uncertain
than any our ancestors have ever known, the only sure footing available
to us might very well reside in the deep soil of history. These
civil war reproduction photos are meant to entertain, awe, inspire,
sober, and most importantly, teach. The educational value of
these high quality prints is incalculable, bringing to its viewers a
more vivid and intimate encounter with the Civil War, and its people,
than ever before thought possible. You will be absolutely
spellbound: but only seeing is truly believing.
In addition to providing you with the
highest quality civil war reproduction photos possible, we can have
them delivered straight to your door ready to hang on the wall. We
have a number of mat and frame options available, all of which have
been carefully selected for their visual compatibility with these
black-and-white civil war photo prints. All of our framed images
come with non-reflective glass, eliminating glare so that you can gaze
without distraction upon the civil war image in the frame. Our
frames, like our photos, represent only the highest quality
craftsmanship. Each is hand-made with great respect for the
treasures that will be presented within them.
The dimensions of the civil war
reproduction photos offered in our product selection are only
suggestions, and can in most cases be re-sized or cropped to
suit your specific tastes. The cost of framing is calculated by
foot. Whatever it is you need, do not hesitate to contact us.
We will do whatever we can, within reason, to deliver to you the
highest quality civil war reproduction photo we can find, in the frame
style of your choosing.
