BELL Project
No. 2004001Much too large and too fragile to frequently handle & carry to appraisers, museum research centers and/or ethnic libraries around the world.
We were asked to provide something more durable. By scanning at 2600dpi we "stitched" the digital sections together while retaining the depth and color of the threads.
Our client has successfully transported a unique and cumbersome heirloom without damage using our high resolution images while preserving the original. (scale 1/64")
We provide digital or document prints of our scaled graphic enlargements & layouts. Please contact us for your individual quotes.
With our high resolution scan of our client's original embroidery we provided specific areas of his choice to further his research. The full circle area can be seen here, as well as the unique gold thread stitching.
The final documents measured 8.5" x 11" each with wallet sizes for our client to surface mail. We also provided all sample selections compatible for e-mail on CD.
