Northwest at Bathurst St & King St W   1919 vs 2018

The Otto Higel Co. Ltd was founded in 1869 by Otto Higel, manufacturing pianos and organ supplies. He moved to Canada in 1889 and worked under F. Koth. He then purchased the company and in 1901 consolidated with Augustus Newell & Co. By 1912 the company had 450 workers. The Higel family retained control until 1938. By 1944 business dwindled and the company ceased to exist. In 1981 the building was demolished.

Experience vibrancy and depth of colour with our Gloss White finish.  Colours pop and details come to life with the white base and thick high gloss coating.  This is an excellent finish for any subject matter.

For portraits, weddings or anytime surface reflection is a concern, our Matte White finish is the optimal choice.  The surface provides a rich, smooth finish where colours can come alive with perfect subtlety.

Your print will be matted with a white archival matte and foam backing.  Your matte boarder size will be 2" on either side up to a print size of 16"x20" and 3" either side for prints larger then 16"x20".  If you require custom boarder size then please contact us for details.

The metallic high-gloss surface is stunning when used with our Facemount to Acrylic process.  It produces vibrant colour with exceptionally sharp details.

Add an elegant finish to your prints with our Black Float Frame.  Each frame is custom made from solid hardwood and finished with a black edge and face.
 

Select this option if you would like your print trimmed to the edge of the image.

Luster Photo Paper

Our Photo eSatin 300g is a premium-quality, resin-coated inkjet photo paper that professional photographers rave about. They like it because the prints they deliver to their customers feel noticeably thicker, heavier, and more durable than mass-market inkjet photo papers; the latest generation is even thicker than before at 11.5 mil. The slightly textured, satin (or luster) surface is like the E-surface papers that were popular in darkroom printing. The print surface doesn’t show fingerprints or reflect glare like glossy papers. This paper’s excellent ink retention properties produce an exceptionally large color gamut for bright, realistically saturated colors and accurate skin tones. Plus, our latest version has an even wider color gamut and an improved white point for greater contrast.

Acrylic Mounts

Our facemount to acrylic process is like nothing else being offered on the market today.  The facemount to acrylic process will bring out the best in your photographs by enhancing vibrant colours, accentuating clear crisp details, and adding a three dimensional look second to none.  

Each image is printed using a genuine smooth gloss paper designed specifically for the facemount process.  Your photograph is then mounted between framing grade acrylic and a protective backing where a recessed frame is applied for hanging, literally giving the impression that your artwork is floating off the wall.

Vintage images from the Toronto Archives are merged with modern day images. White halos denote open sky where new structures overtake the skyline. Torn edges represent the split revealing a part of the past in our present.

The start of a series that will explore the vibrant neighborhoods around the city.
