IMPORTANT INFO

 

1) First and foremost, all our posters are MODERN CREATIONS — they are NOT vintage pieces or antiques! Our posters are printed on-demand from our own ORIGINAL art files that we've created ourselves within the last few years. (Read on for more details.)

2) We offer our posters UNFRAMED ONLY! Our preview images demonstrate how our posters look framed in various real-world environments; however, we do NOT include frames when you order our posters! Offering our posters UNFRAMED ONLY helps us keep our production and shipping prices lower, and it allows our customers to choose their own frame styles and materials to match their taste, décor, and budget.

3) Our preview images are FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY. Please note that digital images are typically more vibrant than printed posters. Also, due to printing variations and editorial decisions, you can expect that the colors, details, etc. in the actual posters you receive may vary somewhat from their representations here. (Some preview images we show have been WATERMARKED for security purposes. Don't worry — these marks do NOT appear on the finished product.)

4) Do NOT use dry mount or heat press processes on our posters — doing so may DAMAGE them! Our posters are special digital prints that are prepared using vivid inks and finishes that can make them HEAT-SENSITIVE. (If you wish to frame or mount our posters, we recommend a light application of a gentle archival spray adhesive instead.)

5) In general, our posters do NOT look perfect! The events they publicize occurred during the 1930s-1970s, and the original source materials from which they derive often include not-so-minor cosmetic FLAWS — folds, creases, scratches, spots, marks, smears, ghosting, discolorations, etc. — all of which we typically elect to leave intact. We always aim to strike a balance when preparing these "antique" materials for modern printing — in general, we strive to hold onto their "PERFECTLY IMPERFECT" nostalgic charm as much as possible, while focusing on fixing issues when they affect legibility. (Please zoom in on our preview images to evaluate each poster.)

 And where do these posters come from?

Our mission at SecondTakeJazzArt is to produce high-quality visuals that commemorate celebrated live performances by jazz legends from the distant past. We particularly focus on renowned club or concert appearances that have been preserved by fan-favorite recordings — legendary shows for which little to no advertising ephemera survives (or was ever created).

SecondTakeJazzArt strives to fill in these gaps with carefully researched, highly detailed facsimiles of said missing ephemera. Our poster designs combine the verifiable performance information with vintage source materials (imagery, branding, type, etc.) and original elements (derived from or inspired by contemporaneous advertisements of the same/similar events in posters, handbills, newspapers, magazines, festival programs, album covers, etc.).

In general, the posters we've created for SecondTakeJazzArt fall into three categories:
1) the majority are our own wholly new original designs;
2) others are our own original enhanced designs (new versions of vintage poster designs that we've significantly edited, adjusted, reconfigured, etc. ourselves); and
3) a few are our own original upgraded designs (new "straight" reproductions/reprints of vintage posters that we've painstakingly retouched ourselves).

SecondTakeJazzArt produces decorative tributes that aim to delight the viewer, not forgeries or fakes that aim to deceive them. Our goals are to either faithfully recreate and/or authentically mimic something close to what might have been or reproduce in higher fidelity what's largely been lost.

We sincerely hope you do enjoy our posters, and find them to be worthy constituents of your home or office décor.

All posters designed and printed in the U.S.A.
