FAQs

Q: Is this photo a reprint, a photo that you print from a digital file on demand?
A: Absolutely not! What we are selling are the actual original images that come from press archives. What you get is the actual copy from the archive. On the back of most photos you can see, stamps, writing and notes made over time as these photos were used in the publications. The archives stopped using prints like this in 1995, so the youngest photo we have is over 30 years old and the oldest over 100 year old. You are getting a real, authentic piece of history, every photograph is unique and there is only one copy of each photo.

Q: Where do all these vintage photos come from that you are selling?
A: These original vintage photographs are from various news paper archives in Europe, mostly from United Kingdom and Scandinavia. We work with these archives preserve all these great moments in history by digitizing them. By selling the original copy after it has been scanned, we can help pay for this very important project. This project creates this ones in a lifetime opportunity for the public to buy these images that have been locked away for up to 100 years in the archives.

Q: How where these photos used before, what’s the story of these photographs?
A: From 1900-1995 the photo archives of all the newspapers where in either print or film format. Most of them used the prints. The prints were given to the printer who used them to setup the newspapers and print it and then the print was returned back to the archive. Commonly the newspapers would stamp the dates when it was used in the newspapers and many photographs were used multiple times. After 1995 they started using digital cameras and slowly the archives shifted over to the digital photo. The press archives stopped growing and slowly over time the archives used them less and less. Now with the help of IMS Vintage Photos, they are able to scan all their archives and get access to them digitally and at the same time, the public can see many of them for the first time, and buy the original copies.

Q: How do you package the photos so they are shipped safely?
A: We package each order in sturdy cardboard envelopes to prevent them from being bent, and then we wrap them in plastic sheet to prevent them from moisture and water. We have shipped hundreds of thousands of photos to most countries in the world and it is a very rare exception if something is damaged on the way.

Q: The IMS watermark that i can see on the photo, is that on the actual photo that I will buy?
A: No. This is a digital watermark used to protect our images. It is not printed on the actual photo.

Q: Can I download the digital version of this photo and keep it instead of buying the original?
A: No, we are only selling the actual vintage originals and do not make or distribute any digital copies. We think owning a screen size digital copy with a watermark is also much less interesting compared to owning the actual original copy of the image.

Q: When do you ship the orders?
A: We ship within one business day after the payment has been made. You should receive a confirmation from us when we ship the order. If you don't get that, please contact us.

Q: Do you combine shipping and invoices?
A: We are based in both Iceland and Latvia. We can combine all orders we can ship from the same location. We can not combine shipping if the images have to be shipped from different locations.

Q: What are your office hours?
A: We are open 9-17 (GMT). We also have customer service after hours helping out with all the basics.

Q: Can I use this photograph in a publication I am doing, such as book, documentary or website?
A: Please do not use any of our photographs before contacting us first. For some images it is an absolute no, for some it might work as we have an agreement with the copyright holder. Please contact us and we will be glad to help figure that out.
