The church on the corner appears to be gothic style. The bank building has "1898" in stone. So it was not very old when the photo was taken. You will see trolley tracks, brick street, and many interesting details, especially in the larger-size prints (see "Other sizes available" below).We will also include a free photo showing a birds-eye view of the city, taken about 1930 (second picture shown).

See "CD option" below for details. Your request must be made in eBay messages on the same day that you pay. These improved prints have been custom-made for you new, in a photo lab. We have taken great care to preserve the sharpness and old look while removing scratches, spots, and other damage that would make them less viewable. We have repaired imperfections and improved tonal values. The improved 1910 image is not 5x7 proportions. So, that print has white margins above and below the image. The free 1930 image fits. Why buy this photo: These prints would be good conversation starters in a restaurant, waiting room, lobby, classroom, office, library, or museum in Grafton. Decorators use our sepia-tone prints in a variety of ways to make them look old (see "Tone options" below). These photos could also be a gift for a history buff or someone who has roots here. They can be resold in a store (see "Wholesale lots" below). Our photos can be used in school reports, presentations, and displays.

So, prints have white margins at the top and bottom so that we do not have to crop out any of the images to fit. It can be matted for framing. The edges that do not have margins will have a minimum border. This means that there may be some white edges (less than 1/4 inch wide) outside the image so that you can display the maximum amount of the image in a typical device that hides the edges of the print. Quality: We select the highest-quality images we can find and carefully restore and improve them. Old photos do not meet today’s high standards due to the limitations of the materials and methods available in those days, and due to aging and damage. But we improve them as much as we can while preserving an old look. Then we process them using modern archival methods so they can be affordable and last for many years.CD option: You can request to substitute a CD instead of prints. The CD may contain more than one version of each image, including at least one cropped close-up, that are optimized for digital presentations, websites, and e-mail. The images will not exceed 1200 pixels in the longest dimension, and thus may not fill the screen when used for high definition displays. If we have additional information about the image, we will include a text file as well. If we have other old images of Grafton, we will include them as well. You must request the CD in eBay on the same day that you pay. The CD and images shall not be printed nor reproduced for sale nor distribution. Packaging: We ship 5x7 prints and CDs flat with a stiff board to prevent folding, in a sturdy envelope. Shipping time: If you do not request the CD, your sepia-tone luster-finish 5x7 prints will ship the next business day after we receive your payment. So your request must be made in eBay on the same day that pay. If you purchase additional eBay items from quaintcards to ship together, an extra day may also be required. The time required by the postal services to deliver your package depends on shipping method, Customs requirements, weather, holidays, and other factors beyond our control.
