Welcome to Retro Images. A collection of beautiful engravings and illustrations from the Victorian era. From Sherlock Holmes and the Strand Magazine to the Illustrated London News and the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland images of Sir John Tenniel, Retro Images is your source of Victoriana with an emphasis on high quality illustrations that are hard to find anywhere else.
High resolution downloads of some these images are available for royalty free use exclusively from istockphoto.com/retroimages.
We specialise in the restoration of Victorian art and illustrations using the latest digital technology. Depending on the level of damage, one image can take anything from several hours to weeks. Our exclusive photography emulates the atmosphere of Victorian engravings, so they are invariably black and white and very graphic.
All items are dispatched from London, England by Royal Mail first class to the UK or Air Mail to the rest of the world. Posted in strong card pouches, boxes and tubes.
Technical bit: All of our prints are professionally printed on matt photographic crystal archive paper using FujiFilm Frontier 390 printers at 300 dpi. Posters are printed on matt photographic archive paper using Polielectronica Laserlab printers at 254 dpi. The fade resistance of prints is rated at 150 years.
