Picture Library
We are currently holding almost 100,000 images. These images cover many topics including animals, greetings, transport, social history andlocations world-wide. If you require multiple images or are creating an image bank we may be able to help you. The majority of our images are over seventy years old and are copyright free and they are inexpensive when compared with picture library fees.

ACCESSING THE SYSTEM
First telephone us and discuss your requirements in respect of subjects and places. We can then realistically evaluate whether we have suitable images. If we do not have suitable material we will tell you and not waste your time.

VIEWING THE IMAGES
Once you have told us which subjects you wish to view we will set up an appointment and have the actual images available in our warehouse for you to inspect. Most of the images are on old picture postcard measuring 3.5 inches x 5.5 inches and are already priced for sale.

COST OF SERVICE
For a pre-payment of £100.00 plus V.A.T. you may view the subjects of your choice. This amount entitles you to take images to the same amount. The ownership and copyright (by ownership) becomes yours. This is the minimum cost of the service and must be pre-paid by credit card at the time of the request to view. Should you require more images at the time of the visit then these are charged at the marked prices..

COST OF IMAGES ON POSTCARD
Whilst the cost of the vast majority of antique cards varies from £2.00 and £15, there are those of great rarity and historical significance. A reproduction fee of £50.00 is charged in such cases with the image remaining our property. Anyone with experience of the traditional picture library will realise that this system is far more economic and can slash the cost of desktop and speciality publishing.
