balanced and the portrait is printed on Kodak Professional Paper. There is an extra charge

Regal Portrait
This finish is custom printed according to specific instructions written by Mr. Eldridge
on an individual basis and printed by a skilled photographic printer. Each portrait is
custom cropped, burned , dodged , retouched and art worked according to our instructions
at no extra charge. The portrait is then mounted on a smooth Masonite board and coated
with a lustrous U.V. resistant lacquer. Portrait should be displayed without glass.

Masterpiece Portrait
The Masterpiece Portrait has the quality of the exquisite Regal Portrait, with the added
beauty of canvas. Each Masterpiece Portrait is printed to the most exacting specifications
and enhanced in every possible way before being permanently embedded onto artist's canvas, followed by a masonite mount and a lacquer spray to ensure lasting beauty. Portrait should be displayed without glass. Our very best! Delivery time: four to six weeks.
Black and White vs. Sepia Tone
You may request that black and white or sepia tone photography
be taken during your portrait session at no extra charge. We
use a type of film that can be processed as black and white or sepia portraits.
True black and whites have
very black blacks and very white whites. Sepia tone portraits
have a "warm" tone in shades of browns and tans.
Please let us know at the time of your appointment if you would like some black
and white/sepia film used in your session. These portraits can be printed
as Classic, Regal or Masterpiece.
