NEW! restored vintage posters

Two new image CDs: colorful, fun vintage posters now all 300 dpi and FULLY RESTORED.

We've seen some Victorian theatrical posters available elsewhere, but those sets seem all the same -- all 72 dpi, basically unorganized, and with all the original rips, tears and deep creases that make many of them unusable. In contrast, we've done many hours of careful restoration work to offer our theater posters in beautiful condition.

BURLESQUE, VAUDEVILLE & COMEDIES:
Over 750 posters of Victorian Edwardian era burlesque and vaudeville performers, showgirls, and posters for comedy plays and musicals

MAGICIANS, NOVELTY ACTS & MUSICIANS:

Over 400 posters for Victorian Edwardian magicians, illusionists, mind readers, hypnotists, novelty acts, circus performers, acrobats, aerialists, singers, marching bands, dancers & more

These are great fun to browse through (especially in our gorgeous image viewer format - it's so easy and pretty, and has slideshow, etc.). And I think they are truly an untapped image resource for altered art!

We also have most of these posters available as extra hi-res tiffs for use in media production, etc. Inquire at summertownsun@yahoo.com.

MONDAY Free Image!

If it's Monday that means freebie! Here is one of the new photo postcards we have been working on, newly scanned, cleaned up, and embelllished just a little bit.

Yes, we know it's not even Halloween yet, and I hate it when the stores put up the Christmas decorations this early.... but many crafters start their Christmas projects now, so here is a charming little girl with her holiday gifts, from 1909.

Just click on the image above to open the full-size original and save. She will eventually be published on CD, but for today she is free for your use in personal non-commercial projects. Thanks for visiting ~ enjoy!

Monday means Free Image Download!

This week's free Lunagirl image is a charming Victorian label from our antique cigar labels collection featuring a sweet faced little girl and red cherries (and old-fashioned hollyhocks in the background!) Enjoy this wonderful example of vintage advertising art for your projects this week!

Moon-day FREE IMAGE DOWNLOAD Vintage Bellydancer

I love dance, especially bellydance, and we are proud of our Lunagirl collection of vintage bellydancer photo postcards. We would like to share this lovely photograph from the early 1900s Edwardian era, of a joyful dancer with her veil. I have restored the image and enhanced it with subtle shades of pink and violet and a little added sparkle.

You're welcome to use this lovely image in your personal crafts and altered art projects (no commercial use). This altered image is copyright 2007 by us. If you publish or display your work, include credit and a link to http://www.lunagirl.com/
