Hi all,
I still have a small supply of my Renascence poster, which would make a
great Christmas gift (to give or receive!)
Renascence is, of course, the wonderful watercolor painting of the Pioneer
Zephyr which adorned the 1935 Burlington Route annual calendar. I scanned
an original calendar top (which I purchased from Gerald Edgar) at 600dpi on
a good commercial-grade 24-bit scanner, and did extensive digital
restoration to remove tears, creases and scuffs. The resultant image is
over 547 MB.
The poster is printed in UV-resistant ink on 100-lb acid-free matte poster
paper by a commercial printer. The image is full-size relative to the 1935
calendar top, i.e. 23 x 22 inches. It has a 2-inch white border all around
to allow for matting, so the paper is 27 x 26 inches.
There is one visual difference to the original. The 1935 calendar was
printed by Brown & Bigelow (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_&_Bigelow for some information on the
company.) On the original calendar top at the lower left corner are the
words "Talio-Crome Trade-Mark / Reproduction Brown & Bigelow". To avoid
any misidentification I have replaced that wording with "Reprint 2008
American Lithographers".
See http://www.prototrains.com/renascence/renascence.html for more details.
The cost is $40 including shipping within the USA. Overseas customers
please contact me for actual postage. Thank you!
Best regards,
Randy
