So I have this set of vintage lithographs in our shop. US Presidents from George Washington to Lydon B. Johnson. Created for the US National Bank from original engravings from US Governmental sources these engravings are based on original paintings, daguerreotypes and photographs printed on high quality vegetable parchment paper and they come in the original storage portfolio sleeve.
Includes 35 lithographs, listing of all presidents, birth places, birthdays, terms in office, and US population figures. Also two small engraving reproductions of The Capitol (1870) and The White House (1904).
I got to thinking...these would add a nice traditional or even Colonial feel in a room. Encased in simple, black or white frames, and hung in a large grid would create a big statement piece on one wall. They could also be presented in groupings or displayed in a row--perhaps above a chair rail--down the length of a hallway. IKEA has inexpensive frames or there's always the thrift stores. The frames could match or not; if not just paint them all the same color to fool the eye.
