Our niche is unique and antique AMERICANA images...many one-of-a-kind resources include thousands of pictures of all types. Many not found in other sources. Our diligently restored images are better than the originals, considering the talent and tools we have today but not overly done. When we revise, composite, restore, manipulate, combine or adapt old &/or new images... we try do do it in good taste with the feel of Americana.The old is "fresh again" when discovered by creative thinkers - like you. We're dedicated to good designs of the past and giving some a new life with a twist. With your unquestionable refined cultured taste, they'll bloom once more in the ambiance radiating from your walls. Youbetcha;-) Remember, we are also an image archive providing pictures for advertising and editorial purposes. Also see custom prints. With over 40 years of producing images, it means ... quality with supreme service. *

About: Bygones was born out of an advertising photo business established 100 years ago and a collecting craze that began shortly thereafter by Jim Meyer. Well, maybe not a 100, but we became addicted to this Americana stuff. Happy clients have included AAA, American Heritage, American Oil, American Hoist, American Telephone, American Linen, American National Bank, Early American Life, Transamerica, Time-Life Books, 3M, Kodak, GEO, FSI International, Kennedy Space Visitor's Center, Etc. Somewhere in between photography & antiques we've restored three pioneer Minnesota log homes, a Connecticut 1760 central chimney home and a Newport, RI Bellevue Ave. cottage. Some museums that have displayed or acquired our antique items include Amon Carter Museum of Western Art, Ford Museum, New Bedford Whaling Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Wadsworth Antheneum.
