PhillyHistory.org and The Art Institute of Philadelphia recently partnered to organize an exhibit of some of the most stunning photos from PhillyHistory.org. Many visitors have asked how they could purchase these beautifully framed and enlarged photos. This is now possible!

Details
The following fine arts collection photographs are available for sale for a limited run of 25 only. Each photograph has been digitally restored, archival printed on Hehnemuhle Cotton Rag Paper, and numbered to an edition of 25 per photograph. Each image was then matted using four-ply white museum board with acid free foam core backing and placed in a black frame.
