12"x12" Print - Texas Cowgirl Sisters, Rodeo Sharpshooter Champions, Texas, 1938 - Polly, Dorothy and Allyne, Kerrville, Texas

Treasures from The American West Collection at The Grand Review.

We are now offering several of our prints that started out as 24 x 24 inches square in three sizes. 24 x 24, 18 x 18 and 12 x 12.  THIS print is 12 x 12, and has the added advantage of working easily with a store bought 12 x 12 LP frame available most anywhere, or custom framed as you see fit.  That said, don't fear the bigger sizes.  They all have considerable visual 'pop'.  I'll have to frame up a 24x24 here and shoot it.

Three sisters.  Polly, Dorothy and Allyne.  Pretty as a picture.  Fit as a fiddle.  Decked out in matching 1930s sport togs and classic vintage cowgirl boots.  Rodeo Sharpshooter Champions, 1938.  The photo says Kerrville, Texas on the back.  In time, as I learn more, I'll post it here.  Research is always an ongoing process at The Grand Review.

That said, this delightful moment in time stands on its own and reels you in.  This is a large print that commands a bit of wall space in a really delightful way, whether you are a fan of vintage cowgirl imagery or not.

A NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.

Every print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps.  The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands.  That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here.  See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”

There is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.

There is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.

Then there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road.  I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle!  So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.

This dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.
