FOR SAMPLE IMAGES PLEASE SEE THE
GALLERIES PAGE

(1) PRINTS
In 2005 Beken converted to digital photography using the latest Canon Eos 1DS mkII 16.7 mega-pixel cameras. Digital prints are now available from all the Beken negatives from the 1880’s right up to today’s modern digital images. Beken are renowned for their quality and resulting digital prints are in many ways superior to those achievable in the past. Over the last 120 years we have used negatives of various size and some images may be too square to fill the rectangular paper size requested. We will endeavour to give you the biggest print possible within the paper dimensions & in the event of no specific cropping instructions we will use our best artistic judgement.

Framed prints can only be collected from our gallery/shop in Cowes or couriered (£20) to addresses in the UK. This is due to the risk of glass breakage. If you order a framed print Beken will supply & charge for a mounted print only.

(2) CANVAS PRINTS
Available from the historical archive images from the 1880’s to today’s modern colour digital images.
Printed directly onto canvas and stretched onto a 2” thick wooden frame. With wrap around edges if possible, black if not. Each canvas has a hardboard backing for rigidity & the surface is laminated for protection. Being lightweight, the finished product may be hung from a single (but substantial) nail.
The results are impressive especially the larger sizes.

(4)LIMITED EDITIONS

Subjects may be chosen from any Beken photograph taken over the last 130 years.
A good selection may be seen on the GALLERY EXAMPLES pages.
Available in Black & White or Sepia Brown from pictures dating back to the 1880s
and Full Colour back to the 1970s.

Starting with either the original glass plate negative, colour transparency or digital file,
each is hand-worked, re-touched & enhanced before printing using the finest Epson
pigment inks on the best Hahnemuhle 100% cotton museum grade acid free rag paper,
giving the greatest archive storage life & resistance against fading. Each is then signed,
embossed & numbered by hand & comes with a certificate of authenticity.

If the proof is in black & white then only Sepia-Brown or Black & White results are available. The image reference numbers from 2005 onwards start with the date (year/month/day). 1888-2004 image reference numbers follow a different numbering system. Ask for years if required. The images may be available for you to reproduce under licence, from personal & social use, to commercial advertising. Ask for details.
