An original period image restored and tinted by internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson.  This is an exclusive listing of his work.

Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused.  Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image.  By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken.  

You have your choice of size and finish for the photo.   Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown.  If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print.  If not requested when placing your order your image may be cropped.  If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in.

Clara Bow

Clara Gordon Bow (July 29, 1905 – September 27, 1965) was an American actress who rose to stardom in silent film during the 1920's. It was her appearance as a plucky shopgirl in the film "It" that brought her global fame and the nickname "The It Girl". Bow came to personify the roaring twenties and is described as its leading sex symbol.

She appeared in 46 silent films and 11 talkies, including hits such as Mantrap (1926), It (1927) and Wings (1927). She was named first box-office draw in 1928 and 1929 and second box-office draw in 1927 and 1930. Her presence in a motion picture was said to have ensured investors, by odds of almost 2-to-1, a "safe return". In January 1929, at the apex of her stardom, she received more than 45,000 fan letters.

After marrying actor Rex Bell in 1931, Bow retired from acting and became a rancher in Nevada. Her final film, Hoop-La, was released in 1933. In September 1965, Bow died of a heart attack at the age of 60.
