This terrific old photo was shot by famous photographer William Henry Jackson. You will see nice details in this photo, especially in the larger prints. (See “Other sizes available” below.) Please see our other photos of Illinois and railroad stations as well. Check out all our items!

You will receive a new 8-inch by 12-inch (8×12) print that will ship the next business day after you pay. This improved print was made new, in a photo lab. We took great care to preserve the sharpness and old look while removing scratches, spots, and other damage that would make it less viewable. We repaired imperfections and improved tonal values. 

Why buy this photo:  This print would be a good conversation starter in a restaurant, waiting room, lobby, office, classroom, or museum in Illinois. Decorators use our sepia-tone prints in a variety of ways to make them look old. This print could also be a gift for a history buff or car buff. It can be resold in a store (see “Wholesale lots” below). Our photos can be used in school reports, presentations, and displays. This is a significantly improved version of the original image and it must be licensed for use in a publication, production, or other product (see “Licenses” below).

Tone:  This print has a sepia tone as shown. Sepia is the color of old prints today, caused by acid in the old paper. Many people prefer the warm sepia tones over cold black and white. This sepia print on acid-free paper, but it looks old. Black and white is available, listed separately. Click “Ask a question” or “Contact seller” to ask how to purchase black and white.

Finish:  This print has a luster finish that reduces glare. Glossy is available, listed separately. Click “Ask a question” or “Contact seller” to ask how to purchase glossy finish.

Border:  This print has 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 display 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.

Packaging:  We carefully roll 8×12 prints and ship them in sturdy mailing tubes. 

Shipping time:  Your print will ship the next business day after we receive your payment. If you purchase additional eBay items from quaintcards to ship together, an extra day may 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.
